Bookshelves


I hope on recommedations on ($800-1800) polite/(thin) sounding bookshelves. Many miles away from sounding bloated. Easy, maybe a tad 'boring' and musical bookshelves. I'm aware that some wave this off as anti-hifi. But that's simply my taste. I want to enjoy them but not feel 'impressed' or overwhelmed by them.
I hope on some pointers on the right direction.

Thanks for the feedback so far! This is the first time that I looked into the Ls3/5a. It sound like a near perfect speaker.
I have a question for Newbee or anyone else who has experience with LS3/5a speakers (jrinterptnet?). Actually a load of questions:

mentioned are the splendor and rogers Ls3/5a as great speakers. What about Chartwell, Audiomaster and Harbeth?

I've seen a Harbeth Ls3/5a 1978 for sale for approximately $1300. is this a fair price? Sounds ridiculously high.

Wich speakers 20-30 years in use I would suggest that the cones are toast by now. True or false?

15/11 ohms. and inpedance of 84. Are they easy to drive or the opposite?

And my biggest concern is with the mid bass hump. I read that this is an issue with the Ls3/5a. Also true or false? The latter is what could stop me from purchasing a pair, so that's very relevant.

Thanks a lot guys!
