Speaker help - short list needed

I'm looking for a good sounding speaker that is very musical without any harshness or brightness. Looking for something around $1,500 on the used market. Paradigm's are out of the question as their tweeter is a bit much for my liking. For comparison, Sonus Faber makes a sound that I enjoy.

I'm looking for floor standers, something that also packs good bass. Electronics are contingent on the speaker I end up with. I'm basically starting over in my audio quest so I can go any in direction at this point. Just want something musical.

Room size is about 4k cubic feet to 5k cubic feet. I have only heard the Sonus Faber Luito and it sounded good to my ears. I have not heard the Grand Piano, but they are closer to my price in the used market.

Also, which model of Dynaudio are you suggesting? I like the idea of getting away from a metal tweeter. The silk and exotic materials seem to be less harsh to my ears.

Good suggestions, I wish I could demo all of these speakers, but I cannot. I will be pairing these speakers with a McIntosh 2205 and more than likely an Anthem AVM40 or AVM50 (do not have the Anthem yet). The Vandersteen's seem to be a very good option at this point for the money. I have heard these paired with McIntosh in the past and they are very easy on the ears.

Keep the reccommendations coming....
