Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk

See title, which speakers would you suggest auditioning and how would you describe their sound? Price can be new or used.

Looking for specific recommendations and how you’d describe their sounds ie crisp, warm, whatever. Again I enjoy mostly jazz and folk with nice vocals. If you care to share amps you think pair well or ones to avoid feel free! Please spare me responses on why it’s different for everyone or how my question is somehow flawed, just looking for some of your opinions/recommendations, thank you.

Eh? Is this an audio forum? Or is it just an opportunity to bother people?

Be sure to audition planar speakers. Personally, I’m into Quad ESL arrays. 2905 / 2912 described as clarity without edge - but also, no head-banging volume. YMMV

@mglik is right. I have used both Quad 57’s and the latest versions. The latest gives you an extra octave top and bottom, but there’s not all that much music there. The 57’s are just as satisfying as the latest versions.

The second best room I’ve ever heard used three pairs of 57’s, stacked. The best is my current room with 4 modern Quad ESL’s.
