Speaker Help


I'm looking for speakers with a nice soft delivery. Meaning full range but not harsh. Some might say a lush midrange. I have a 13' x 16' room and can't use an extremely large speaker. On the other hand I want more than a monitor. I use an aesthetix calypso pre and a modified McCormack DNA-1 amp. Would be buying used. Speakers I have tried; Aerial 8, Vandersteen 2 old version, Gershman rx20 and Salk HT3.thanks for the help.

my budget would probably top out around $3500. No I'm not looking to change amps or pre. The Vandy 2 would be my starting point. But where do I go up from there. I know the 3. I have never heard Sonus Fabers. I do like the Olympica II but do they have any bass? They may be slightly over what I want to spend. The Gershmans were fine. The problem I had was with that "lady" that acts like she's doing you a favor by not helping you when you call them. I've never heard Proacs either.
not interested in Gershmans. If I had to talk to that lady up there ever again it'd be too soon. I'd really like to have a three way. Does anybody have any input on Proac speakers?
thanks for the suggestions. still don't know where I'm headed. I never really liked the idea of subs. Maybe I'm just old fashion. I guess it just kind of sucks having that small of a room. I'm still looking though.
The Chapmans, something I wouldn't have thought of. What components are you using with the chapmans?
