Speakers to replace Martin logan Prodigys


I had to sell my Prodigy's because I had no room to set them up they the way the needed to be.
I am looking for something in the 5000.00 to 7000.00 range that are room friendly for a small to medium room.

I will be using the Wolcott tube amps and running my 581 direct.
The Prodigys sounded great with no preamp will box speakers be the same with no preamp?
I have to ask as I haven’t owned a box speaker in over 15 years so I don’t know what to expect.
Thanks for all the ideas.

If you read my post, I didn't feel a need to sell them.
I have NO room, I have owned the other Logan’s in the past and have heard the New Summits and to be honest about I wasn’t very impressed with it both times I heard, at least not compared to the Prodigy’s.
If I had the room I would have kept them but I don’t.
I need to move on and get something room friendly.

I have thought about the Avant-gardes but they are out of my price range and I also believe they need room just like the Prodigy's did.
the room size is 12x18 so I am looking for something I can keep pretty close to the back wall. My listing chair will be about 12 to 14' from the speakers
Thanks again all the help

I am very open to spending less in fact that's what I want to do.
All I am saying is that I will not go beyond my limit that's all.
In fact I bought a pair of Von Schweikert VR4 original the other day for a 1000.00
I may keep these?? I haven't been able to really listen to them as I need another set of speaker wires.
I have been told that the Von Schweikert speakers can be placed up to the back wall because of there design.
As far as the listing position that was just a general number may be further maybe closer??
That all depends on what I end up using for speakers.
Your also right about some lower priced speakers sounding great.
I think some of the best rooms I heard the past 2 years at the Rocky Mountain audio fest were speakers I either have never heard about or did hear about but kinda blew them off in the past because of the very low price tag and them.
I will freely admit that in the past I have done that.
I figured if it had a low price it couldn't be good.
Going to all the Audio shows changed that.
So again I am not stuck in a certain price tag I just will not go over my budget that's all.
I probably shouldn't have said between this and that amount.
This was on there web site
Our hybrid bass loading system utilizes a 7" wide flared vent, front-mounted to allow close placement to a wall in small rooms without boom or coloration. Unquestionably the most impressive and dynamic 20Hz bass system available!

Thats for the new MKII so yea it may not work but that is what i was refering too.
I am getting more and more confused people.
I listen to allot of rock Godsmack on so on I love Blues,Jazz Classic rock and so on.
I will run Wolcott tube mono's Wadia 581, Kubala Emotion cables, Ect
Room size again is 12x18
I loved the Prodigy's sound.I don't want the smaller Logan's once you have the Prodigy's to me the other just don't cut it.
that's my opinion and not intened to opened anyone with other Martin Logan speakers.
I have a small room and don't want to give up the big soundstage I had but I know I have to give up something.
I need help.
I cant run a sub.I run the Wadia direct.
I dont use a preamp and the 581 is the basic no digital out.
I have decided to hold off buying speakers.
I was looking at buying something just buy because my speakers sold.
I need to make time to go out and hear different speakers in my system before I make a choice.
Thanks for all the great ideas!
