Bookshelf or Tower


I am in the hunt for new noise makers.
I have budget of about 5K.

I love good 2 channel imaging and play a variety of music at low to medium volumes as wife hate loud music.

I currently own Paradigm Studio 20 v.5 but want something with a bigger sound.

I am considering: Paradigm S2's, BW 805d but then I think at those price levels I could get floorstanders but I don't see why the floorstanders cost so much more. So confused.

My set up is Bryton 4B SST amp, Bryston BP 20 preamp and a modwrighted Sony DVP9000ES.

Just a thought, since you don't listen to loud music, and if you have a big enough room for them, have you considered a Maggie 1.7 or 3.6r or 3.7?

Big speakers equate to big sound...however it can be difficult to get a balanced sound from large towers...this is where a sub can be handy....one can contour the bass to ones likening...although it seems counterintuitive to...I wasn't really a sub guy until I moved to towers...and hi pass the system...this works well if you have room modes and overhang...
