I wouldnt muck around with and ID speakers at that price point. You are into the PMC 23, ATC 19, Tannoy Definition, Revel F208, Wharfedale Jade 7, etc price/performance realm. Kinda gets more about the looks over a certain price point. Gorgeous glorious looks. If you go this route count me as envious!
If performance is your goal I'd stick with a loaded Axiom system (since you already own some) with 2 SB13 ultras and treat the snot out of your room. Your room is far and away the biggest upgrade you can make in a given setup.
Send me the extra money! Lol.
P.S. Share pictures! Congrats.
Oh yeah.. PSB just overhauled the synchrony one tower in your price range... So yeah..... I hate you officially.
