Proac D38, Wilson Sophia II, Avalon Ascendant???
Elberoth2, thanks for the opinion. I've listened to the Wilson's and thought they were great. I'm still waiting to audition the D38's. I'm less inclined to evaluate the Avalon as I am looking for more of a true full range sound and have heard the ... 
Buying used vs. New
Seditious3, That sounds like a good idea... Fly to the place of sale and check it out. I'm not sure how many people would welcome a stranger into their home though??? 
Is my room big enough for ProAc D38's

Thiel CS 1.6 vs ProAc speakers vs ?
I vote for the ProAcs. They don't do everything but everything they do they do extremely well. They have an addictive quality and are very true to the recordings.

Problems with Ayre's Company???

Problems with Ayre's Company???
Mimberman,Thank you for your input. I do not want to get into too many of the specifics of the "unimaginable reasons". The local dealer I speak of would never say anything bad about the quality of Ayre products. He truly has a passion for his work... 
Problems with Ayre's Company???
Tvad,I appreciate your comments and understand your point. I guess it is just frustrating seeing good quality dealers who really care about their products and customers being pushed aside for the latest marketing scheme to sell high numbers of pro...

Small speakers for a small room
ProAc tablette REF 8 are very fine speakers for smaller rooms. Retail around $1200 and have occasionally been seen on Audiogon for around $800. Even better the REF 8 Signature but difficult to find used. 
Speakers for vocalists
ProAc is incredible at vocal reproduction. Especially their monitors. Try to audition the Tablette Ref 8. It is excellent and affordable.
