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

Greg- Currently driving them with Counterpoint SA-220. I included a request for power requirements along with speaker suggestions as i realize that some have experience with certain amp/speaker combos. Looking for speaker recommendations similar to the the Maggies and don't want to leave any stones unturned.

Thanks
Jim

Thanks for your responses. I took a look at the suggestions and it appears that either the price is way high of the $5000 retail mark (some as high as $15,000!!) or are small monitors that I fear would struggle in a mid-sized room. I am looking for speakers like Maggies that have a stronger mid-range, lots of soundstage and "air", but a bigger "sweet spot" and perhaps a bit more bass. Input about hybrids such as ML, Innersound Eros, etc as well as panel-only makes are of particular interest, although I am open to others.

Thanks!!
Jim
