Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers

Right now I`m using Revel F52`s along with 4 subs.

I`m looking to change things up just for fun.

My room is 18'x22' with a sloping ceiling that goes from 8' to 13' and I have acoustic panels for sound treatment in place.

I don`t want the 'head in a vice' sweet spot first and foremost.

I`ll be keeping the 4 subs so deep bass is not a requirement but a big open sound with great midrange is.

I like detail and pinpoint imaging too.

The bookshelf speakers have to be as good or better than the F52`s (sans bass response) across the board.

Looking forward to your suggestions !

"What do you think of the Harbeth 30.2 XD ?"

I’ve owned every Harbeth minus the M40. I am now using the Super HL5 Plus. IMO, it is the best Harbeth that I have owned. You can get them within your budget. These are priced real fair. Those stands sell for $1600 alone!

Harbeth Super HL5 Plus XD Bookshelf Speakers; SHL5+ XD; Walnut Pair w/ Stands - The Music Room (tmraudio.com)

+ whatever for Harbeth, I have the 30.2 XDs with a pair of REL subs, love them. The HL5s yogi posted look like a good deal.

They are not the best for loud rock though, which is fine for me, rock is not what I sit down and pay attention to, but everyone once in a while I get the urge to look for a "rock speaker" maybe Tannoy (in addition to the Harbeth’s), ) but I digress...

Dynaudio 20is. Great sounding room filling and easy to drive. There is a mint pair being offered now on us audiomart I didn't check to see if they were listed on Agon.  Get them and you will never look back. The I version is a pretty newer model.
