BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE

There are a plethora of choices in your price range, to be sure.  If you like Klipsch - real Klipsch - then the Heresy IV https://www.klipsch.com/products/heresy-iv-floorstanding-speaker#product-specs would be your choice, but do yourself a favor and pair them with a tube amp.  I have never heard a Klipsch speaker of any kind (and I've been in to audio for 45 years, including pro audio, and owning a HiFi store back in the day) sound 'right' on even the best solid state gear.  On the other hand, I have heard Cornwalls and an ancient McIntosh MC-240 sound damn near magical.  Going 180 degrees the opposite direction, Magneplanar 1.7i  http://www.magneplanar.com/model_17 will have size and detail nothing else in this price range can touch.  Just make sure you can pull them away from the walls a couple feet, and that your amp is happy at 4 Ohms. Pivoting yet again, it's hard to ignore the pedigree of the KEF R3 https://us.kef.com/speakers/hi-fi-speakers/rseries.html . Think of them as a more forgiving LS-50 with an extra octave of bass or a working man's Reference 1 https://us.kef.com/speakers/hi-fi-speakers/the-reference/reference-1-ultimate-bookshelf-speaker-pair.html .  Or for that matter, buy a pair of LS-50s  https://us.kef.com/catalog/product/view/id/1143/s/ls50-mini-monitor-speaker-pair/category/219/ - $899/pr at KEF direct, and get a genuine no-holds-barred Class A speaker and spend the change on a subwoofer.  And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Goldenear https://www.goldenear.com/products/triton-series Triton 3 (powered woofer) and Triton 5 (all-passive). So, there are my Top 5 (well 7, counting options) recommendations in the $2500-ish range, each with a distinct approach to sound reproduction, each with impeccable credentials. Happy listening.
