Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon


I am moving to a larger listening room (21 x 14) and am looking into new speakers - to pressurize the room, as I tell my wife ;). My current speakers, B&W CDM 9NT, have always sounded to bright in my previous listening room and are currently not at the same level as the rest of my system (click on the system link to see the components and cabling). Cardas cables and a McIntosh have somewhat tamed to extra energy in treble region.
I am looking for a well rounded speaker that excels in all the important areas (dynamics, frequency extension, detail, musicality). If I had a preference, I would lean towards a warmer/less analytical sound but not to the point of sacrificing detail.

Some speakers which I've had my eye on off the top of my head:
Dynaudio Contour S 3.4
Magenpan 3.6
Von Schweikert VR-4jr
Focal JM-Lab 946 Electra

Open to other suggestions,

Thanks in advance

I think you should at least listen to a pair of 3.6 Maggies. I know it changed my way of thinking when I did. FYI, I am running MC-501s with a C220 and the sound is delightful. The amp and preamp are the end of the journey, but the constant has been the 3.6s since I first heard them. It costs little to listen...

Happy hunting for your new speakers!
