What speaker to buy to start over.

I had a pair of Vandersteen 3a sig with 2 2Wq subs in a system. It was very nice but did not play rock well at all. I loved it for jazz and female vocals. I was using a Classe 400 and Audio Research LS22. I have not had the pleasure of hearing the model 5.

The room size is about 17' by 25'. I listen at moderatly high listening levels. I want to spend around 7K or less. I was happy with my system but I will never keep a system too long. I love trying different systems. Yea I guess I do need therapy.

I had ML Ascents with a Descent sub. I loved the sound but there was a hole in the upper bass region. I suppose it was the crossover from the panels to the bass driver. I have decided to go with the Summits as I do like the ML sound. I got to go audition a set and they blend way better than the Ascents. Thanks for all the suggestions.
