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.

Dear paliden,
Good morning / afternoon / evening. I have owned a pair of ProAC K6s for nearly a year and have been consistently delighted with them. No matter what the genre or era of music, these speakers deliver. They're well-balanced from head to foot, dynamic and accurate, but also highly engaging and musical. Yes, I too listen to some Cream, Clapton, Pink Floyd and a few pleasant-sounding ladies, all of which the K6s handle with utter aplomb.

However, my room is nothing as large as yours - it's only about 25' long, 13' wide and 13' high. As has been brought up several times in this thread, therefore, I am not at all sure whether the K6s will work as well for you as they have for me. The K8s may well do the trick, but at list price they are beyond your stated budget.
