Original Poster here. Thanks so much for the many recommendations. Sounds like Harbeth and Spendor are quite well liked. In fact, I can't seem to find any negative reviews of either one. Some people perhaps want a speaker that goes deeper or is ultra high resolution, but they never say that the Harbeth or Spendor is a mediocre speaker.

I have to say that I'm really impressed the more I listen to the cheap Focals (706V) I have playing in my system right now. I'm tempted to move up their line as they seem to work well in the set up I have. That open, airy tweeter is quite addicting. They are also easy to drive and sound great at low volumes.

I'm hoping to hit a high end audio store or two during my holiday travels (we don't have any here in Southern Oregon) and perhaps hear some of the recommendations in person. Always nice to hear before you buy, even if I can't be entirely sure until I have them in my listening room.

Thanks again for all the recommendations, and happy holidays to all.

Scott
