Advise before I regret
The older Paradigm 100s were petty good but you need an amp. I would think the premiers may be a downgrade.  
Speakers choice with Octave v80se
Might want to add Dynaudio to the list. From all accounts they are a very good pairing and Dynaudio distributes Octave in the US I believe. Heard the C60s with the Octave V110 SE I believe and it was very good. Dynaudio have a very different prese...

Slept on it for the night and hit the send button this morning on the S1s. Worked out a descent deal for both of us I believe. If my electronics do not do them justice I will certainly look to upgrade slowly. I do think the Crown DCI would surpris...

Thank all. Well I'm about to hit the PayPal send button for a pair of Pioneer S-1EX. Thanks for pointing those out howaboutthat41!  I like what I read in the reviews and they seem to have a very high build quality. We shall see in a week or so.

Thanks,I've thought about checking out Salk for years. I should plan a trip over there and try and work it into a work trip soon.

I will back up on the Tekton subject. Loud volumes I thought they hardened up some. Lost coherence. Pretty damn loud mind you. I thought this was my room and very well could have been. I've other speakers in there since and I don't really get that...

I do have a subs as well. Paradigm servo 15 and a JL F113. JL is out of commission for the moment. Need to pull the amp and send to JL for repair. Loud buzz.

I definitely don't have space for the Maggie's I dont think. Room is approx 13x16. I've heard them once, not sure the model and I don't think they have what I'm looking for in my type of music. They did spund really nice though.

Hmm. Yeah those JBL look pretty good. You like the Tritons better overall? I've owned those as well in the past.

I have looked at open baffle a little. Not having punchy bass concerns me. I could be off base with that.

I have no problem with used so it would need to be a really great deal new for me to consider.

New Tektons are in the mix as well. I think I know enough about them so I didn't ask about those. Probably Moabs would be the choice if I go that route, although I worry about the loss of midbass impact since they don't have those drivers.

I would rather keep the amp and pre. The DCI amps are better than the XLS Crowns. Very clean and powerful. I've had other class d amps in the past and the Crown is better than the highly touted Lyngdorf IMO... that is until you turn on room correc... 
REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab
Wow Jeff you are a real mcasshole bud!!! Lmfao lmfao lmfao. Merry Christmas.  
Former Special 40 - Advice on next purchase?
Dynaudio and Revel historically do not come on song at low volumes IME. I would look at something more efficient. Never heard the Pulsar or those SF. I would think a floorstander would be more satisfying if not running subs.
