Joseph Audio Pulsars
I have a pair and have a suggestion: custom-built Sound Anchor stands. 
Good speakers under 10K.
Joseph Audio Pulsars. Fabulous regardless of what front end or amp you are using, an uncanny quality. 
matrix 803's.. i have chance to buy... worth it?
I owned a pair of the 803 matrix S1. I wish I held on to them. I also owned the 803Ds. The matrix is an excellent choice. You will not do better for a grand. 
what is the best sounding speakers for under 5000.

Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
20.7 is now available. Anyone heard it?

Best speaker in the $5-10K range. Details below.
Magnepan 3.7, 20.1 or 20.7, or Joseph Audio Pulsar or Perspective. Keep the JL Audio f112 until you hear them in your listening room. With the big Magnepans or Perspectives, you probably will sell the subwoofers.

I meant "them."

I am running the with an REF150S. So, yes a S300 will drive them, but I am going to try them with a pair of REF500m monoblocks.

I just purchased a pair of Pulsars. Now they are broken in, I would suggest you stretch your budget. I, however, am reluctant to recommend any other competitor, having tried many. I certainly understand why none are listed for sale on this site.
