Trying to make the jump from (3) 15" PA speakers with 1.5" compression horns, to HiFi speakers. HiFi speakers tonal accuracy is lovely, but PA speakers are dynamic and emotionally engaging. I've tried Polk M60's, M40's, Klipsch M600's and Elac Uni-Fi 2.0's. Still using the PA speakers, haven't found the magic bullet yet.

Hey don't laugh...the experience is sensational, just not tonally accurate. That's why I'm searching for new speakers. The problem is finding a replacement that can give a visceral live performance while at the same time being tonally accurate. I want that BIG sound, dynamic with a big D. I've got a 5000 cf space, mlp 10' from screen.
