Sound Stage and Imaging

I love speakers who 'paint a big picture' (I am literally closing my eyes and trying to SEE a picture). Therefore I THINK I like to see IMAGING and BIG SOUND STAGE. And also like DYNAMICS.

Being frugal (just not willing to spent audiophile level money on it), I love to persuit 'bang for buck' solutions in general.

With above goals in mind for a speaker: what hits the marks in the low fi (audiphile scale) $2k (used or new) budget range. (I have 2 setups: one HUGE room, one 20x20).

...And I would love to be shown otherwise. But I know of nobody with an OB system. As I said, I’m in Orange County, CA and would love to exchange listening pleasures.

...And, anyone is welcome to come by my place and hear what soundstage and imaging are all about.

I would think that an open baffle would produce poor imaging as the rear reflections bounce around the room "blurring" things.

I use a modified Heil AMT and find that blocking off the rear wave improves imaging.  Others have reported similar.

BTW, if anyone wants to hear stellar imaging and soundstage, you are welcome to come hear our creation.  I and others have never heard speakers image like this. 

We are in Orange County, CA, and if any Stereophile writers are reading this..., come on by!  I know some of you live in So Cal.
