Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s

I am looking for speakers. I am a fan of the Usher sound - superb 3d soundstage, excellent leading edge dynamics, great attack and transients that make one jump out of the chair. I am considering the BE20s/10s in the used market but given their huge size and room requirements and low availability in the used market I am in two minds. Can anyone recommend a speaker that sounds similar? Especially previous Usher owners? I was considering Revel Salon 2s but got the impression that they are a little un-exciting and don't have a good attack (I may be mistaken)
My amp - Rotel 1090
Thanks!

I heard some big Ushers at a show some years back and was also very impressed. In terms of imaging the speakers they reminded me most of was Joseph Audio, but I can't speak to how they compare on the other parameters you mention. JA speakers sound very natural to me, but not sure if they have the jump factor, etc. you're looking for or not. Certainly worth a look imo.

In terms of dynamics and jump factor I might take a look at some PMC speakers. I think that powerful dome midrange driver might excel in that area, and from what I've read they image quite well too. The Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne might be an interesting option too. Best of luck.
