Speakers choices matter less in itself than their room coupling...I know that the OP know that perfectly well and his thread question is only a pretext for friendly discussion ... Thanks to him ...
We need to know the room and needs first ...
Do you listen only heavy metal and amplified rock show or classical quartet and jazz ?
Anyway i am no more an audiophile ...😊 Lesson learned ...
I listen music in a perfect for me low cost system/room ...
The only criteria to know if your choices of gear/room are right is simultaneous musical/sound ectasy ... You have it or not.... Simple ... It is impossible to upgrade after that MINIMAL threshold of satisfaction , save if you increase by one or many factor of ten the cost of your actual system ... Simple fact from my experience ...I suppose that you have already electrical,mechanical and acoustical workings done right ...Ectasy come only after that ...Ectasy may come without high end component only good one ...It is my case and no i am not deaf ....
I suppose we search for music acoustically well done in a system /room not high component bragging ...
