+1 for the Magnepan 3.7i. Even the smaller 1.7i, at just over $2K, makes a bigger, more realistic stage - with fine detail and timber (whether seated in or out of the sweet spot) than anything near it’s price.
Magico A1, A3, Vandersteen Treo, Wilson Sabrina (used), KEF LS 5o with R900 Sub,Fritz Carrera, Legacy Signatures, or Elac Adante series, Maggie 3.7 for planer IMHO. All based on room selection, treatment, and front end, amplifier budget
I had researched speakers in those range for nearly 6 months: Considered nearly 12 speakers. I had short listed to Magico A3, Audiosolutions Figaro L, Aerial Acoustics 7T, Revel F228be. I ended up buying Aerial Acoustics 7T. Love them. Audiosolutions Figaro L and Magico A3s were very close too. If you are really serious, audition speakers as much as you can and shorten the list as you go. Else, it will be confusing and hard. Best of luck.
