Speaker Suggestions/Opinions

I wasn’t saying they don’t have many dealers, more that the used market doesn’t seem very strong. Far as using the grills with Harbeths I don’t find that much more appealing than staring at the screws. I may still end up with a pair, but I sure wish they were better looking. I can’t imagine anybody is a fan of all the screws and don’t understand why they wouldn’t do away with them. Almost like they are proud to make ugly speakers because the design is classic or something.  

Appreciate all the options mentioned.  I think of all the suggestions the Dynaudio special 40 may be the most appealing to me. Some of the speakers mentioned which I’m sure are potentially great I just won’t invest in do to the companies style of business. I truly hate when a company makes a line up where they simply increase the cabinet size and the woofer size or quantity as you go up the line. Generally they turn there whole line over every 3-5 years. I find it very difficult to believe these companies provide the most musically tuned speakers. The exception being when they actually take the time to develop a particular speaker such as the special 40 or the ls50.  It seems when they do this they often have smashing success. If they would only do it more.  Although I think the KEF is a great speaker it isn’t quite what I’m looking for. Maybe for lack of a better word a bit sterile to me. 
 I really wish Harbeth would attempt to make a “modern” speaker.  I would definitely be a buyer. The explanation that the screws were for on site repairs as studio monitors I find pretty amusing. I can only imagine how many Harbeths are actually in duty as mobile recording monitors. Too funny really.  Very ironic to me that the official “pipe and slipper speakers” need to have 20 exposed screws for on site repairs.  I suppose Harbeth tech support is some guy in mechanic outfit that shows up to your house with a giant tool truck. Anyways I’ll quit ranting.
 Ohm also is very intriguing to me but I’m not sure about the look. From what I’ve read I truly could love how they sound. Unfortunately my setup is in the living room and has to meet the wife’s as well as my taste.  I’ll have to check them out more and see if I can adjust to there different look.

Anyways thanks and keep them coming.  

Have not heard the Metas. Not much a fan of the KEF dealer that’s is close to me. 

To be specific the room is 11ft by 22ft with a 5ft opening into a short hall that leads to the kitchen.  The speakers are in the middle of the long wall. 

Amp is McIntosh MC302. 
These Fritz speakers are interesting. I wish the did a little more with the cabinets. Even a bevel or rolled edge I think would go a long ways. Does anyone know what goes into one of their designs?  Are they simply a company who sources very good drivers and fits them with suitable crossovers and cabinets, or is the designer known to have a good ear and spends considerable time. I guess I need to read some reviews. 
Also what’s people take on P3esr filling a medium sized room?  Basically if they could play safely as loud as my Totem Rainmakers then they may be all I need. I find they look much more tolerable than the larger models. I can also find them in black which goes a long ways to hiding the screws a bit. I am also limited in how far I can bring the speakers off the front wall. With the Rainmakers about 15 inches. Side walls are about 10 feet away which helps a lot. 

After pondering it a lot. Nothing really appeals to me very much right now. Harbeths do far as sound but I really don’t appreciate there looks. Dynaudio are nice looking, but I doubt after reading all the reviews that I’ll really prefer them to the Totems I am use to. The Frirz are definitely interesting. Just not enough info out there, and I really don’t like buying smaller brands just because of resale value. Someday I’m sure something will really excite me, but for now I decided to upgrade my preamp instead. Got a deal I couldn’t pass up and went for it. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I don’t absolutely love something not to purchase it. Even if it means waiting/saving longer, or upgrading a different component than I had planned. 
Thanks for all the input from everyone. It didn’t lead to a speaker purchase but it helped me determine what direction I wanted to go
