Need help to select a speaker

Hi Audiophile people,

I need help to select the smoothest speaker of all.

I grew up using Spendor, Rogers, Tannoy, Wharfedale. I was always fan of British silk sound speakers like Rogers LS35.

The harshest speaker that I had was JBL which still has a smooth sound.

I don't have time or chance to listen to all the new speakers but in need to select a near field listening speaker for Jazz, Blues, vocals, Acoustics with maximum details in low volume.

I am looking at both Bookshelf and Floor standing but I should get better sound quality from a Bookshelf speaker in my experience.

Please share your experience and let me know what I should look at.

I am looking at Brand New and under $5K.

Cheers

Mike

Over the years ,I have owned many British speakers. I just sold the larger Falcon IMF-100 that has the same drivers and xover that the LS35A has. The Harbeth P3ESR is the one that I prefer over all of them including the larger Harbeths and Spendors that I have owned. This guy gives an accurate review on the Harbeth P3ESR.

My friend had the ATC SCM7 and he thought they were great. He lives in North Carolina so I never listened to them. Gene Rubin is in Ventura and he sells Harbeth and Spendor. I have bought many speakers from him including Harbeth and Spendors. You should give him a call!
