Speakers for Pathos Classic One MKIII


Hello Gents. My system consists of the following components:

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit (DC) Turntable
Pro-Ject USB DAC Box S2+
Pathos Classic One MKIII Integrated Hybrid Amplifier
Klipsch RP-600M Speakers

I have this system form more than a year but I think I'm tired of the forward sound of the Klipsches. To be honest I really like the dynamics, the clarity and the details but I'm enough of the sound right in my face, so I'm looking for a floorstander under 1000$ that have a more relaxed, warm - laid back sound. My priorities would be:

1. Musical
2. Refined
3. Rich/Body/Texture
4. Relaxed
5. Clarity/Details
6. Good LF extension

I've made some basic research and came to the following options:

- Q Acoustics 3050i
- PSB Alpha T20
- KEF Q550
- Wharfedale Diamond 230
- Dali Zensor 5

What do you think of these options guys? Would you recommend something else?

Thanks!

I have used Spatial M3 Turbo S's with my Pathos and love the combination. The Spatial's 4 ohm allow the Pathos to deliver 140 watts. I've been thinking of getting another Pathos to bridge.

However, the Spatials might be out of your range. In that case, I'd recommend the Dalis
