Speaker recommendations


Hi-My current system consists of a Sota turntable, NAD cd and tuner, McCormack Pre-amp (ALD with phono and external power)and DNA .5 Deluxe amp (100 watts per channel). The speakers i am using are the Klipsch KG4. I want to upgrade the speakers. My room is 14 x 16, with concrete floor and one wall open to the rest of the house. I listen mostly to rock music (Norah Jones, Killers, Death Cab, etc.) played at moderate volume. I want a speaker that images and soundstages well, has decent bass extension and is efficent enough to be driven with my current amp which I like very much. I am considring Totems and Alons but would like other suggestions too. Thanks.

I have above $1000 to spend on speakers. I prefer full range b/c I wont have to spend extra for stands and a sub and speaker wires. But, I like to pin point imaging that comes with monitors, and I like the flexibility of a sub...does that help?
I want to replace the kg4's b/c, IMO, they sound a tad bright, they dont image well, and the finish isnt good any more either.
What if I up my budget to $1500? ProAc's, Vandy's, Thiel, Totem, Alons, Silverlines, Ushers, can all be had for somewhere b/t $1000-$1500. Would any of these work?
I purchased pre-owned Usher X 718 with stands. They are great speakers for the money-the berst Ive owned out of B&W and Appogee. Everything i've read about the Ushers are true. Bass is ample and they play loud. I recommend you go listen to some if you aare in the market for speakers-I would recommend any of the Usher speakers. Happy listening.
