Floor to Bookshelf

The Falcon Q7 is an outstanding standmount type speaker. You can get the kit or factory built shipped for well under 2 grand. I have owned them and they are sold factory direct saving you a dealers markup. The soundstage and imaging are great!

I have the Evoke 10s.  I think the Evoke series is a nice line. 

You may want to give Fynes a listen. Very good in that price range and easy to drive. Their smaller floorstanders might work and save you the price of stands. Beware of bright speakers in search of resolution, as these might be fatiguing long term. That's why I suggested Fynes. Good luck, listen to everything you can. 

I'm a strong advocate of published or open souced DIY speakers.   Several out there have a great following.  I own the NADA "stand" 2-ways made with Scanspeak's best drivers, XOs in furniture grade cabinets.  Name recognition brands would cost many times.  I've seen them used for $1600 to $2200 of late.  Uncolored, detailed sound.  If handy, could try a design by Troels Gravesen (see site) for his Illuminators (basically same as NADAs).  Follow links to CAD cut full blown cabinets to his specs.  Few if any tools needed except soldering.  Finishing.  Something larger, 3-way, will be my next speaker.  Never heard them but Fritz speakers have massive following in the same category.  Many models out there used. 

Oh, search hifishark and it'll return results for many sites at once.  See my system for example of NADAs.
