Really need some help finding a full range speaker


I've thus far been on the sidelines here, but I must say I've been very impressed with the knowledge many of you bring to this forum . I'm hoping to tap that knowledge, if I may, and get some help finding a new pair of speakers.

I currently have a pair of Paradigm 75f's and I've been very happy with them. To me they sound neutral, fairly accurate and exciting to listen to. But with just a pair of 5.5" drivers providing bass, they are lacking seriously at the low end.

I"m driving my Paradigms with a CJ LP70S which puts out 70 watts per channel. It has no trouble driving the 75fs but I'm inclined to buy a more efficient speaker this time around. I"m also very interested in maintaining or even improving on the accuracy and neutrality I"ve been enjoying with the Paradigms.

I'm searching in the used market and looking for a pretty significant upgrade. I'm very open to vintage options and am searching in a fairly wide price range from $1500ish (used) up to around $5k. I'm concerned about not having the opportunity to demo the speaker before I buy it, but am highly motivated by the cost to value ratio available with used speakers.

One final concern is size and aesthetics. My wife is simply not going to tolerate a tower speaker bigger than she is (or I am for that matter) and more flamboyant designs are not welcome in the listening room that doubles as my living room. I'm hoping to find a fairly straightforward looking speaker that's large enough to accommodate bigger drivers but doesn't completely overwhelm the room with their size.

dodgealum - I'd be interested in the DA-1's your friend is selling for you. How can I get in touch with you?
Sounds like Daedalus Audio might be the ticket. Check them out and send me a PM if interested—my previously owned and loved DA-1.1s are being sold by a friend of mine.
Definitely the best bargain in speakers just got even better as Emerald Physics is moving to a new factory. I have EP KCIIs with mods that I paid $2K for, but right now, the factory has a few Pro versions for $1295
Vandy’s are always a solid choice - musical, full range, not edgy, can listen for hours, good top to bottom response.

Spendors. Harbeths. Floor standing ProAcs. Luscious midrange, svelte/sexy highs, warm full tuneful bass. Brilliant imaging.  Not rock and roll, headbanger speakers though... they are meant to play music at reasonable volume levels.

Wharfedale Lintons are in this league too in terms of warm full bass response, but not tactility of the sound going higher through mids and treble.

Other option if you basically like your current speakers other than bass response is add a good sub, or better yet, a pair. RELs are truly outstanding for music, as are Velodynes.
Vandersteen Quattro Cloth and with a built in powered subwoofer your CJ will make them sing with ease.
Verity Parsifal encore is a great used  value. I owned a pair in maple they are very nicely finished too.
