I would check out the new Thiels. They are very nice and as good as I have heard under $10K.(I cant think of anything I like more in this price range) My second choice if your tastes lean slightly to the warmer side of the fence would be the Quatros. Not as nice in the bass as the new Thiels but easier to adapt to in different rooms, and they dont need as much power. Also as hard as this is to say the Thiels image and soundstage better. which is saying something because the Quatros are great also.
Anyway, if buying new under $10K one of these would be my choice.
