Help I need some speaker suggestions


Hi, I'd like to get help from you audiophiles out there. I'm looking for a pair of speakers that are "up front",dynamic and don't get obnoxious over time. I bought a pair of $3000.00 Theils a few years ago and was not happy with them. I kept turing up the volume to try and get a sense of being right there but they only got louder-no sense of presence. My old speakers are Cerwin Vega D-9's (4-way w/15 in. woofers) I like the overall sound but they get a little noisy and tiring over time. I guess I'm looking for the same kind of effect but more refined. I've heard that possibly Klipsch might fit the bill but I worry about the same fatigue factor. What else is out there in this genre? Budget about $1500.00

Depending on your elecronics and budget, you may wish to check out items like the Totem Forest, Legacy classic, Coincident Victory or B&W 803. All very different, but I have enjoyed the various mfg, and all have much better dynamic prescence than the Thiel imho. (I have also owned Thiels). I would steer clear of the Klipsch if you are worried about fatigue. Good luck.
