Any former PSB Goldi owners happy w/new bass?

I have PSB Goldi speakers and would like to upgrade to something more modern. I have had Revel F30's and F32's, and have home demoed Von Schweikert VR2's but didn't find the bass as satisfying as the Goldi's. Maybe I'm a bass freak after having double Advents for years but that's what I like. I'm after more sophisticated highs which I did experience with the F32's but they don't rock the house with a large sound like the PSB's. Anybody move from Goldi's to a full sounding speaker that also has the sophisticated highs I'm after without spending $5000.00+? I know a lot of you are happy (temporarily!) with your systems but I would really like to hear from former or current Goldi owners.

I currently use the last version of the Gold i. It still a very good speaker for the money . If youre into rock or country its hard to beat ( great bass ). Im sure there are beter speakers , but they do cost more . Good luck

Build outboard better crossovers as direct replacements.. Will make your golds sound like diamonds!

You can probably call PSB and get them to email or fax you the schematic.

Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v.4

Nice strong bass response with three 7" bass drivers. The v.4 also includes the tweeter from their Signature line v.1 (not the beryllium tweeter). MSRP is a bit over $2500.

They fill my room very nicely (17 W x 30 L x 10 H) and I am only running them on a NAD C352 (85 wpc). I have them placed with the drivers approximately 36" off the front wall.

I'm on the same quest to find something as good as the gold i's.  I made a mistake trading them to my carpenter for some work during my renovation three years ago, thinking I would get something better later.  What's better?  I never found out and I still don't have floorstanders.
