Warm sounding speakers for Naim Nait5 & CD5 ??

I am looking for a set of speakers that
produce music with warmth and good pace.
Yes colored sound... Detail is not as
important. I want warm, pacy, involving
music with no edge.

The room is 14' by 20'. The speakers will
be 5 feet apart. 3 feet from each side wall
and 1.5 feet from the back wall. Floorstanders
or monitors with a super tight sub would work.

I will be buying used and my price range is
$1,000 to $1,5000.

So far I am thinking:

NEAT Petite with a sub
Spendor
Linn Ninka

Many Thanks
Tom

You're looking for a good speaker for rock, right? I dont think the Spendor sound is what you're after.

First, I must remind you that I have no experience with Naim and Spendor so take it for what its worth.
Ive heard some Spendors- afew years ago- sounding great with jazz and classical but a little to polite for rock.
But if warm and pacey is what you're looking for, Spendors might be just what you're after.
I personally and YMMV wouldnt be looking for warmth in a speaker if I prefer rock.
Pick up a used pair of 5se here on Audiogon. I dont think you'll have much trouble reselling them if they dont do it for you.
Just my opinion, of course.

You found the Dulcets warm? I had a pair of Decapos with Naim Nait5 and CD5 and would'nt consider the sound "warm".
I'd describe the sound as very transparent and on the analytical side.
