Roger that larryi. I heard the Charney's at CAF (with the high end AER driver) and they sounded very promising. Wonderfully present, quick and coherent. Another high efficiency brand to consider is Daedalus Audio. Paired with an LTA Ultralinear they produce some of the best sound I've heard. Daedalus has several models that can be had in your price range. They are handcrafted, artisan loudspeakers that perform at the highest level.
