Any recommendations for a moving coil that has some speed, excellent top end extension, an EVEN tonal balance, a hall perspective of row five to row fifteen from the front stage and a retail price tag not above $2000 ?

Definitely a Transfiguration Temper W (0.55 mV) or Temper V (0.30 mV)

They retail for $4000 msrp, but can be gotten for around $2000.

Other contenders:

Lyra Titan. (hard to find a deal though)

vdH Condor (very near your budget, but delicate and easy to break)
Raul, I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with you. I think both the SME IV.Vi and SME V are a WONDERFUL MATCH with the Transfiguration, the Helikon, or the Titan.

If that is what you hear, then you need to check your system. Something is not right I think. Let me know if I can help you out.
