A friend of mine has a pair of Living Voice speakers, I think maybe older R25's? He got them for a steal price because of some small dings in the cabinets, but they can be had for less than $5K. You'll pry my old ProAc Response 2's out my of cold, dead hands, but I found these to be very similar in having excellent imaging and a vivid midrange. In fact, he bought them to replace his own ProAc Response 2's so he could run single-ended amps. He listens to more contemporary music than I do, and they did very well with that but also classical and jazz. I really enjoyed listening to them for two days, and if I had the money I would even consider replacing my ProAcs.
