Multipurpose floorstander speaker


For roomsize 15X12, I need good multipurpose floorstander below USD 700 to use for both music and hometheater. Music mainly jazz and rock. For music I'm using Exposure XXV amp with Arcam 7se cd. For hometheater I'm using Yamaha DSP A5 amp and Pioneer DVD 636. Previously using Castle 7SE but sold to make way for better one. Apreciate your advice on good floorspeaker make/brand. Thank you.

You might checkout the PSB Stratus Bronze or one of the floorstanders in their Image Series -- www.psbspeakers.com. They are often listed on Audiogon and eBay at discount or as B-Stock.
I am not familiar with the Castle 7SE, can you describe its sound and also what you would like to change about it? I am familiar with some of the other Castle models though.
there's currently a pair of thiel 3.5's & 3.0's adwertized here on a-gon, asking $900 & $750 respectively. hard to come close to real 20hz-20khz full-range sound w/the soundstaging of these guys at anywhere near the price, imo... but, they *wood* benefit from a bit larger room. strategic sound-dampening at 1st-reflection-points wood help greatly here...
