+1 re Tekton and the Double Impact already mentioned. If size is a factor, you can look to one of the smaller Tekton Design speakers.I like Zu, but I would pick Tekton over Zu despite their sharing the same breezes in Utah.

Cable Snake Oil Antidote
Prediction: Snakes will be NO shows at the AXPONA Show! However, the oil presser events scheduled at the Schaumberg Convention Center are a GO.

Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything
+1 on the T+A recommendation. It's worth giving Dave @audiotroy  a call to discuss your amp situation and perhaps expand the possibilities of what you are considering.
