Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market


I’m asking for listeners’ experience in this bracket, buttressed by reviews and/or data; I am not a fan of "whatever sounds good to you." Ultimately, yes, that will be the case. But in getting to that point, I’m looking to benefit from the advantage of a thousand pairs of ears rather than mine alone. Those ears can include the inanimate. Thank you.

My experience has included my own Elac 403, Elac 407, and Dynaudio Special 40. Auditions have included various Sonus Faber, and Magico. All of this is in preparation for justifying the leap for an Electa Amator lll or its equivalent. But that’s for another day, another forum.

"what sounds best" is what you like. I have listened to a boat load of speakers. From Wilsons, to Sonus to Dynaudio, Josephs, Paradigm, etc, etc.

I have settled on a few for my tastes. My tastes run on lively, in the room performers, good sound stage and correct timbre. If I can feel bass, that’s enough for me as I like it articulated and w punch w/o bloat.

I’ve heard your amp. Your amp is kind of "just there" for me. Nothing spectacular. I am not into "beautiful" sounding as much as accurate so no "rounding off" for me.  So with all that said I can recommend two speakers: For dead on "truth"...Verity. For a combination of truth with just a wee bit coloration to sweeten things up just a tad but still remains very flat..Proac monitors.

If you have a clue with what I like and it parallels your tastes, it’s a starting point.
