Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer

I have a pair of REL Ti9 subs in my dedicated listening room which is 12 x 17. I am looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers that would pair well with the subs. Searching on my own and watching reviews has made a choice even worse. So many to choose from. I mostly listen to jazz and blues with some classic rock thrown in. I have a good SACD collection and several dsd files. There are no audiophile stores close to me.

Any input would be appreciated.

I'd look for speakers with less bass

you are probably right. My Legacy Studio HD speakers clash with the REL's and the amt tweeter is a might much. Toe in and out does not seem to help much.

Q Accoutics 300 would be a great pairing. Sound better than speakers 3x their cost.

Hey @m20j201, look at GR Research X-LS Encore or NX-Bravo. You can build a kit really affordably if you're crafty, or buy pre-built for still an affordable amount. I have their NX-Studios and they absolutely surpass the hype. Honestly given your components and musical taste, you might favor the soft dome tweeter of the X-LS Encore. Worth looking at.

Totem Acoustic or Sonus faber should be given serious consideration. Verafi Audio is an excellent bang for the buck (Never heard ’em.) Have a set of these Vanguard Speakers (in Bamboo) puppies in my whole house system and like wow.
