Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich

I really like my ATC Scm7s that I use at my desk but I want something warmer, richer more bassy. Something that does well with vocals and jazz.

Budget is $5000. They are being driven by arc ref5se and pass x350.8, dac is denafrips terminator. Thanks.

Take a look at Legacy Studio HD. According to Stereophile, Legacy gets all traits of P3 but goes much deeper. (rated class B restricted) In fact, look at the whole list of recommendations 2021 by Stereophile and do some homework before soliciting the opinions elsewhere. Also, Totem Mani-2 signature and NHT Sb3 are serious contenders too if you could find a decent pair in used condition.

That was why I said what I said. If bass is not the concern, P3 or even "more bassy" M30.x is indeed a very good candidate. Good luck!
