Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market

I’m asking for listeners’ experience in this bracket, buttressed by reviews and/or data; I am not a fan of "whatever sounds good to you." Ultimately, yes, that will be the case. But in getting to that point, I’m looking to benefit from the advantage of a thousand pairs of ears rather than mine alone. Those ears can include the inanimate. Thank you.

My experience has included my own Elac 403, Elac 407, and Dynaudio Special 40. Auditions have included various Sonus Faber, and Magico. All of this is in preparation for justifying the leap for an Electa Amator lll or its equivalent. But that’s for another day, another forum.

Hi @richardmathes 

Your room size is similar to mine with hardwood and openings to other rooms. I have not heard a wide range of speakers, but my research led me to Fritz Speakers. I chose the Fritz Carbon 7 SE Mk II. At $2500, they are on the lower end of your budget, but I also paired them with a Rythmik Audio F12SE Subwoofer to fully round out the frequency range. 

I have been very pleased.

Good luck!

I would look at Revel and Sonus Faber.  In your price range, alot of good technology is included in the less expensive lines.

I listen to strictly rock and roll, loudly. Tekton Double impacts upgraded in large room. Smaller secondary room, same rock and roll, great bookshelf speaker, Fritz carbon 7SE, both within your price range. Enjoy   Robert TN
