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!!

They’re a little above your price target, but both the ProAc D20 and Joseph Audio Profile offer detailed yet very natural sound (i.e. not bright) with outstanding imaging and an expansive 3D soundstage, and both are among the best at disappearing as a sound source in the room and neither are a difficult load for an amp.  IMHO either of these is well worth stretching your budget a bit given what you’re looking for.  Best of luck.

Spendor A7- read the Stereophile review too.  

It's difficult to find speakers as satisfying as the Spendor A and D series once you have worked them into your system and discover whet they are all about.

Smooth and detailed (silk dome tweeter), exceptional bass and transparency yet with a speed and rhythm micro dynamic capability nearly unrivaled.  

On the down side they need lots of burn in hours, but you are rewarded on the back end.  . 

More to discover
