New Speakers To Buy

At present I have a pair of Jm Lab Cobalt 815 about 17yrs old the tweeter in one speaker has gone out. Do know if it can replace it.

Now in search of a new pair to buy...using a OCM 200 Amp and have a small listening room about 15 X 15 X 14.

Thinking of B&W 836 ..NHT Tower..Klipsch RF Line and the Hersery III. Looking for a wide and deep sound stage with a depth of detail from that speaker.

Love to hear of what else could be out there to listen to.

I would take your JM Labs over any of the newer speakers you list.

"Looking for a wide and deep sound stage with a depth of detail from that speaker."

If that's your goal, my first choice would be a pair of Vandersteen 2's, but I think your room may be too small for them. A small pair of Audio Physic or Thiel should work very well for you. Or, if you like your current speakers, maybe stay with that brand.

"Without knowing your budget I would recommend a used pair of Proac Response 2.5. A lot of performance for a little less than $2,000."

True, but I see 2 problems with that speaker. They don't meet the sonic description that the OP is asking for, and getting the bass right in a fairly small room that is almost a perfect cube, would be a nightmare. If the OP came across a pair of Future 1's or .5's, that would be a different matter. But they're hard to find and may be out of his price range.
