Speaker recommendations welcomed


Hi everyone,

Looking for some speaker recommendations for a second system and would love to hear your input.  Here's a list of what I'm after

Budget around $5k

Prefer no bookshelf speakers

Non-agressive tweeters

Excellent imaging

I don't have electronics yet and have only started my speaker search. Thanks!!

Electronics: Really considering Michi P5 S2 and S5 amplifier for electronics, some sort of streamer as yet to be determined. I also like Coda and Pass Labs.

@hk_fan The CODA is my preference over the Mich P5 and any PASS (a bit too warm for me). The CODA #16 is great (own it), and the CODA #8 is very good (owned it). However, for $2k the Schitt Woton (own it) is a contender with the #8. I would take the Wotan over the Mich. The Woton needs a lot of break in.

Your room is a great size. Add a bit more to your speaker budget and get something you want to keep for a long time.

To save some more money get a used Sonore OpticalRendu streamer. You can get one for about $800. I have 3 of the older models and they do the job very nicely. When one of my 3 streamers die, I will look at the new $5k Lumin U2 streamer.

Lowering the price of the amp and streamer gives you more speaker $$ to work with.
