Thanks, everyone, I am relocating and downsizing my equipment, watched Erin's audio corner review of the Aura 2. The size and aesthetics look good but I just didn't want to jump into something without some due diligence. There is not much out there other than Erin for comparison. The new listening space is pretty large & bright so I think floorstanders are going to be a little boomy. My budget is under $5000 for good all-genre speakers but very little experience with good bookshelves. Frontend Hegel 590 w/outboard streamer and DAC.
