Best bookshelf speaker?

+1 Pulsar, or Prism may be enough as well and save you some $$$.  Frankly, I’d suggest you try the LSA-10 Statement available on sale here new from manufacturer for $2499 with a 30-day trial period and save even more $$$.  I’d be surprised if you return them given what you’re looking for.  Best of luck. 

Marten Oscar Duo, Duke 2 or Parker Duo

I’m absolutely LOVING my Fritz Carbon 7 SE MK 2 driven by Firstwatt F7. It’s the most enjoyable system I’ve ever put together.

I have been using Aerial 5T's for a few years. Excellent musical speakers.

Go with lsa speakers...they were voiced to match the joseph pulsars at one third the price. They won a big award this year, the finish is sensational.
