ZooDog,
For under $5000, here's a speaker I would seriously consider:
http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?spkrfull&1045937157The Verity Audio Fidelio is a highly refined, exceptionally resolving, articulate and musically satisfying floorstander. What's most remarkable is it's midrange driver from Audio Technology (designed by Ejvind Skaaning, the founder of Dynaudio and ScanSpeak). This incredible driver is so fast that it's allowed to handle frequencies up to 5.5kHz --no crossover is used to roll off it's top end. Like all Verity Audio designs, it's cabinetry and quality of finish is absolutely top-notch. Since it's not too large (39" high, 8.6" wide, 12.7" deep), WAF should be good.
Sam Tellig raved over it's "electrostatic-like" sound. FWIW, it's class A rated in Stereophile.
