Tower suggestions

[TP143]

Hi all,

I am looking to build a floorstander to use in a two channel, no sub system. i listen to everything but country and will be powering them with Emotiva gear. I definitely prioritize clarity and soundstange and so I would want speakers that excel in these categories. My budget is $500-$700 for just the parts since I already have gobs of wood. So far my research has led me to the ER18MTM, Swope towers, and the mini statements. I am looking for additional recommendations and/or direct comments on these specific models. Also, if anyone considers these, or a new recommendation, to resemble a mass produced brand/model on the market please let me know and I will see if a local dealer has the speaker for audition.

Thank you!

I just came across the Scanspeak Rediscovery's at mid-$700, which is slightly over budget but I have read great things on the scanspeak drivers so I thought I would throw it in the mix.

Thanks again everyone!

I have the ER 18 RS version for sale in the classifieds for significantly less then the kit from Meniscus. Shameless plug, I know.

Paul C's Tarkus while a two-box design can be built as a single piece tower.
