speakers for small room

I have a small living room. My amp is an Accuphase powering some Harbeth P3ESRs and a KEF KC62 subwoofer. Sounds great for acoustic and jazz. However, I also like big symphonic works and the Harbeths don't cut it for that. I'm looking for something more dynamic and something that can push more air to give me that grand experience of listening to big works. Any recommendations? Assume a budget of $10000.

 

TIA

Maybe just add a 2nd Sub first and see where you are.  Then move from there.

I think you should move into a small floor stand speaker. Not sure why all the stand mount suggestions. You want a bigger sound, right?

Take a look at Shahinian Acoustics. I bet the Arc would work well in your room.

I do want a bigger sound.

FWIW, I will be keeping my P3's as I can A/B switch my speakers (one of the many reasons I like the Accuphase)

How big do you want to go - stand mount or floor standing? I prefer stand mount speakers in your application. As previously mentioned, Heritage Specials are definitely worth consideration. I just scored a pair of B&W 805 D3 speakers. They meet/exceed my expectations. With my CJ tube amp and pre, they don’t sound bright and have plenty of base. They continue to amaze me, such neutral clarity and incredible soundstage. Your ears matter the most. Audition as many speakers as possible. Buying used can be a viable option. Especially if you can find a pair locally or within a reasonable driving distance.
