What's Next

The PL 500 II’s were on my short list with a few other speakers but ultimately I went with Martin Logan ESL 15A’s. Paradigm Persona, Magico and the other standards should be auditioned.

james_514,

I still love my speakers, but curious to listen to others. That's why I specified recommendations to listen to.

Your speakers are great.

My short list:
Egglestonworks Savoy
Magico S5
Rockport Avior

Iprules1962,

Thanks for the compliment and recommendations. I've listened to Avior's several times and thought they sound good, but not my preference. I will look into the Egglestonworks Savoy.
I'm trying to figure out if there is a speaker that does everything the PL500's do(big soundstage, image well, no fatigue), with a little more detail. I understand most speakers have trade-offs and I may conclude that I don't want to give up what the PL500's do very well.

I just got the Vivid 1.5. I suggest that you look at their larger speakers. I am spending too much time listening as they just pull me in.
