Looking for a good full range floor stander


Hello all.  Making a good two way system for a 20 x 40x 12 high room budget 12k to 16 k.  Powered by a bryston 14b cubed amp.  Have a surround system with Golden ear ref and surrounds powered by parasound a21 for mains  and Carver cinema grand for surrounds. Like the GEs  The speakers I'm looking for will be for music only lots of jazz (female vocalist a fav), classical, classic rock and roll (70's and up).  I have heard good things about proac k6, Joseph audio, and a few others but am not within 4 hours of audition range.  Real interested in people in the know about the proac or suggestions.  Thanks in advance.

One of the things audiotroy never mentions is service and support. I really don’t understand this. One can have a great sounding speaker, that they paid a hefty price for, and the workmanship or design is such that it does not last. Having to have speakers serviced really sucks and having to work with unsavory dealers and manufacturers sucks even more because who wants to pay for shipping, replacement drivers or extra repairs? A rather successful audio brand sold a pair of custom speakers to a guy here on Audiogon and they were falling apart on delivery!! The nightmare he described on getting his money back. I cannot take any dealer serious when he does not mention these important speaker buying considerations. BTW I have never heard a complaint about Salk’s customer service. He seems to take pride in his workmanship, the parts that go into his speakers and the quality of sound. I think if I heard Mr Salk talking about speakers in one room of an audio show and audiotroy talking in a room across the hall, I would spend my time listening to what Mr Salk had to say and listen to his speakers.
