Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs


Hello Everyone!

I would like some advise about what are some of the better speakers out there for a 2 channel system - with use of subwoofers.

I currently use a pair of significantly large - full range speakers (Revel Salon2), that go down below 20hz. Even though my speakers go down so low, I still desired more air movement / sound pressure in the room - to make the sound as palatable as possible.

I found that combining the Salon2 with an external active crossover (JL Audio CR-1) and 2 Subs (JL Audio F113s) sounds excellent. Soundstage is close to like being at a concert, and surprisingly to me, was that imaging has not been lost. Furthermore, adjusting the phases on the subwoofers basically made the speakers and subs act like a singularity and helped the system sound even more exciting. I cross over at 90hz with a 24Db decay.

However, can’t help thinking about the obvious - that I am waisting all that available bass capability on the Salon2s. So I was wondering what speakers out there could be even more appropriate for my configuration. These speakers need not go down so low - Down to 55HZ would be more than enough. On the other hand, Salon2s also have a very strong midrange and highs, so I would like the new speaker to be either:

1) Better in the mids and highs (whether same price as the Salon2 or possibly more expensive), or
2) As good in the mids and highs as the Salon2s but less expense

Very much appreciate your recommendations.

Thank you in advance!

Harbeth Compact7-Es 40th anniversary are superb with subs, likewise the Quad 2912 will inthrall. Good luck on your quest.

Period.

NO cone speaker even comes close.

BUT, make sure your ROOM is conducive to the music you want to hear and what parts you wish to emphasize.

Bring your fav tunes to the store, listen there (you will be amazed--try Baez singing "Diamonds and Rust" or any Muldaur or Ronstadt or Harris or an opera that has a star soprano--Sills?).

THEN, have your dealer set them up in your room for you and "tweak" them as needed. One inch of adjustment can make a huge difference.

Finally, you will hear any "flaws" in your hardware and you may have to change some of that as well. Hazard when you finally get transparent speakers, but isn’t that what you are seeking?

Enjoy the music!
If you're willing to stay in the sweet spot, it's hard to be panels for mid and hi frequency reproduction.  Especially for the money.  
LOL, this is getting funny... you will get 10,000 opinions

I personally own Wilson Benesch.  I have owned a lot of speakers over the last 15 years and the Benesch are very pure and dynamic sounding.  There is no crossover on the mid-range with the Benesch and it sounds like it.  Good luck in your search
