speaker advice' help needed

I would offer that you might consider Proac. Either response 1SC's (just a bit higher cost than your target range) or a nice used pair of Tablettes. The only thing that troubles me is that reference to "large" orchestra music. These speakers, in my own experience with the 1SC is that they are a bit restrictive for a large orchestra type sound at higher volumes. At mid volumes you would be OK, more than OK, great.

I have a Jolida 1701 Hybrid, Old School Sony ES CDP, AQ CV-6, Jaguar, and B&W 602 S3 with very good results.

I'm also considering high efficincy speakers such as Omega and Cainx2.
Thoughts anyone?

I like both the Cains and the new Omegas but you don't get that full fledged Orchestral sound as much with these fostex style full range drivers. The Cains even though they are much larger aren't as full sounding to me. You don't need even 35wpc for either of them. The Omegas sound big with single digit SETs. Try the new small model you will be amazed. Great tonal balance. I don't know the arcam very well.
