Efficient Floorstander

Hi,
Thanks for your responses. Bob, I'm looking for more bass foundation. The Twins are good, as far as they go, but I'd like to get deeper bass. I've looked into both Tekton and Zu. They both seem like fine lines. The Tekton Seas Pendragon? Too big in a smaller room? The Zu Omen Def looks like an option too.

I just looked at the Daedalus speakers online. Wow! They're beautiful. I like the 96db. Unfortunately it's over my budget. (which I neglected to say) I have about 5k to play with. I'd like to avoid the subwoofer path, and go with a floorstanding setup. 30 hz-35 hz would be great. Has anyone heard the Acoustic Zen Adagio? They seem like an easy load on an amp, and they're front ported, so if I do have to go to a smaller room, they might be ok closer to the front wall. I don't know, that's why I ask. The reviews seem good, but, it's just a review. lol. I really wish I could go out and hear some of these speakers, but it's just not possible right now. So I'm kind of on a wing and a prayer!

The Tannoy's look good Aprica, I'm wondering how they would be if I have to move to a smaller room. I read a review on Hifi Pig, and they really liked them.

Holley,
What do you think of the Zu Omen Def's in a smaller room than I have now. Would they work?

Thanks again for your responses. I checked out the Audiokinesis website, and the speakers looked very interesting. The room I have now is decent size, but in the future I don't know where I may be living. The room size may be large or small. I like the flexibility of Duke's line of speakers, and it looks like they would be easily driven by my amp. The Jazz Modules would be at the top of my budget which is 5k, so they're doable. Are there any user reviews of his speakers?

Thanks for the link. I had a nice talk with Duke this morning about various options for now, and in the future. I'm pretty much set on the Jazz 2.0 model. I can get the Jazz now, and depending on happens later, can add the "Effects speaker" if space permits. If I move to a smaller space later, I can tune the speaker to fit the room. I really like the idea of a speaker that can adapt to my room. Thanks Everybody for all your input.
John
