I am in the market for a pair of speakers in the $12K (or less) range. I have a ML383 int. amp., ML390S CD player and a room that approx 275-300 sq ft. I'm looking for: excellent detail and resolution, excellent imaging and transparency (speakers that "dissappear"), solid and quick bass response (that reaches into the 20S, even if it just reaches there); strong performance accross the spectrum; neutral sounding speakers. For this price, I really want something that has no apparent weakness. As such I am considering Audio Physic Avanti IIIs (& maybe Virgos); Wilson Sophias; and Dynaudio Confidence C2s. I've heard the Confidence C4s and loved them, but haven't heard the C2s yet. Has anyone heard the C2s? Are there any obvious ommissions in my small list? Any thoughts/advice/ideas you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
