Kicking off the discussion regarding speakers that will fit the "Doorway" concept.

Oh, I definitely think so (not that I've heard those, either)!The Daytons are a very worthy nominee.
Do we have any other recommendations?
Maybe the Elacs should be in there, albeit at the very top of the price range?
Remember Andrew Jones' previous "low price leaders"?
The doorway to open baffles. Wild Burro Audio Labs Betsys. They're big as a doorway.

I'll second this. I had a pair of P360's for a while. They were very easy to listen to and sounded equally good whether powered by an 8 wpc 300B tube amp or a big-iron 200 wpc solid state amp. These speakers were entirely non-fatiguing with a nice, smooth treble and excellent bass weight and extension considering the smallish woofers. But probably what surprised me the most was their ability to throw a really nice soundstage. The P150 and P160 bookshelf speakers in the same line were also quite good and very well reviewed in the audio press. A real audio bargain in a speaker lineup that flies way below most people's radar.I regularly recommend the early Infinity Primus speakers - the 250 and 360, specifically. Many were sold and can be had used for less than $200. They're relatively efficient and pair well with solid state or tube amplification, should someone want to weigh amplification topology decisions while starting out.
