Help in Speaker Selection

Hello everyone- I am considering a move from the Maggie 12's (w/powered sub)to the 3.6's. Before doing that, I'm wondering what other similar speakers I should be considering in that same price range (under or around $5000 retail), and perhaps something with a larger "sweet spot" and/or slightly better bass. Bi-amp or bi-wire is a future consideration. Room size is 17x23 w/ 10' ceiling.

Please include power requirements along with any speaker recommendations.

Regards
Jim

Jim, what are you driving these speakers with (i.e. amp)? Or intending to drive them with? Cheers

I join the others' recommendations to ALSO look at other speakers (the Piega could be a favourite). NOT because the 3.6 is not up to the task -- just that, in my limited experience, it uses a lot of power to open up at both frequency extremes.

A speaker sporting ribbons should make you feel at home with the sound (open, "airy", fast) after yr maggies.
