Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations


Looking for some new bookshelf speakers for a second system in a small bedroom.   The room is pretty well treated with 6 broadband absorption and 9 diffuser panels. I’m running Audio Mirror Reflection 45 mono blocks with a Canary preamp. Source will most likely be a Gustard R26 as both dac and streamer. I also have a pair of Rel t5i subs and Aperion dual firing super tweeters.  
 

Soundstaging and imaging are king for me. I want the biggest most dimensional sound I can afford.  My amp pairing is really smooth so I’m not looking for anything too warm.  I’d like something that is neutral but full in the lower mids and upper bass but also extended and airy in the treble.  My current Totem Arros do the soundstaging/imaging but are a little weak for me in the lower mids and upper bass.  Also I really value clarity and resolution as long as the magic isn’t lost of course. Basically I’m looking to have my cake and eat it too. My budget is around 3k and right now tops of my list are Fritz Carreras and Kef R3 metas. Also, Joseph Pulsars would be at the very top of my wish list but I’m trying to spend less unless it’s truly worth it.  Others that are lower on the list are Nola Boxers, Totem Signature Ones, Merlin TSM MMM, and maybe even one of the smaller Thiel floor standing speakers
 

As always I’m looking forward to everyone’s thoughts and hopefully there is at least a couple great speakers I’m missing.

Another  speaker to put on your radar that I am thoroughly enjoying  is the Neat Petite Classic.

This post is beyond my capabilities to understand. You want to fill a small room with enough power and sound than most will do for a room 3 times the size. I don't understand spending 10k plus for such a small space. You are way out of my expertise and price range. Good luck

I second the BORRESEN X-1's @ $5500 pr.  Tremendous value and very musical w/ gigantic soundstage.

A much-overlooked speaker is the Technics C 700s. They are exceptional and available for less than $1K. Read the reviews, they are easy to find. I have a pair and love them..
