Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair


I had the elac Navis I thought they were very good until I heard the Elac vela Which was much better In almost every aspect I’ve also listened to the Revel  126Be which were absolutely destroyed by the Elac’s.I am downsize my system from Martin Logan electrostats and quad 2905 And would like a bookshelf that would have some of the same attributes of the quads. I listen primarily to jazz and would like to stay under $10,000. (Fast transient  response, resolution/detail, musicality)
I’m driving the system with a PS audio direct stream dac directly connected to a primaLuna evo 300 Power amp. I’m thinking of switching that out possibly for a pass labs 25/30.8, or possibly a benchmark power amp.

@kenjit what makes the elac debut so special?  They look like every other speaker and I bet they are made out of mdf.
@rushfan... 😂😂😂. I agree with you!

@jcwaudio... did you get anything yet?  If not, go buy some Fritz Carrera BE’s.  Really nice 7” Scan Speak Revelator and an incredible Beryllium tweeter.  The series crossovers are really nice.  The speakers are the bomb and a steal at $3500...

If you are looking at standmount speakers only, buy some Carreras!
