Accuphase Bookshelf Speaker Pairing recommend

For compact speakers, look closely at the Dynaudio or Totem models at or near your budget. Hard to beat these brands at the 5.25” 2 way game! Bison monitors with a 30 day trial may just do it. Great amp, btw. Enjoy.

note: placement is of great importance in any speaker selection, and we know nothing about what restrictions your room layout imposes, if any.  Most of us may assume you have the freedom to put stands away from room boundaries to optimize loading, imaging, etc. but that is often not the case. Always bear in mind that the “best” choice is what fits the conditions of use actually in effect.

Since you don't have a budget consider the Opera Callas standmount which could have the tonality/detail/control desired.

Wow, thank you for all responding.  I may not buy most of these, but my Black Friday "cyber window shopping" on these speakers on-line has been fun and informative.

I’ve owned many bookshelf speakers including Harbeth, Spendor, Falcon, etc.

My favorite shoe box size speaker is the Harbeth P3ESR. You should be able to find a mint used pair in the $1500-$2000 range. BTW, you will find that many have damaged grills and corners because the grills were not removed correctly.

This is one of the many positive reviews on the P3ESR!
