Speaker choice

I listen to music at my living room second floor which is open space linking to first floor and about 12ft x 15 ft. 
 

My source is a Naim uniti atom network streamer and my amp is a Pass Labs XA30.5. I use to run this set up with a small harbeth p3ESR. But I couldn’t feel the speaker is not enough as the space is too huge for it. Now I have sold my speakers I m looking for a floor standing pair or a bigger XD speaker. 
 

budget : within $5k used unit. I will buy a subwoofer eventually to enhance the bass  if needed. Need to save up. 

I listen to mostly pop and orchestra music. I enjoy good and sweet Treble , clear , detail and musical vocal with lots of air and tight and solid base. I like my music that gives me the feeling that I am physically at the concert hall.

Which pair of speakers I should consider ?

Revival Audio has a great lineup of speakers that should help match your needs.

@bluorion has got that right.  you can power them with the Line Magnetic stereo power amplifier at 28wpc.

 

Best I have heard in the $5K price range especially new.

 

Happy Listening

I’ve owned several Harbeth speakers and if you like the midrange magic of the P3s, I would consider the Harbeth SHL5s. They sound bigger and fuller than the P3s, without sacrificing the mids.  I don’t think they will give you the “in the concert hall” levels without subs, but you were considering adding them later anyway.  Great speakers, IMO, and within your price range used or possibly as a demo.

I’ll third the recommendation for Revival Atalante 5.  Well worth a good look.

Standmounts, good stands,  and a pair of subs.

Subs transform a system.
