Help me in the right direction, new speakers

Greetings

I am a Swedish musiclover and love to read up on this forum. Please excuse my english.

I have just placed an order for Modwright Transporter and will use it as a source of music (FLAC).

What I am looking for in a pair of speakers is:

* It must be able to play _all_ type of music. Some
speakers sounds excellent with classical, but are
horriable with "The Prodigy" for example.

* I want to _feel_ the music: the speakers should deliever
emotions (SF Cremona was excellent at this). I
cherish "musicallity" more than razorsharp details. I
never heard a speaker with both skills, so...

* Dynamics!!

I don´t like cold and analytical sound :)

My limit is around $8000

My room is 215ft2 (20m2)

Thanks!

In a room of that size, I feel you need a floorstander to get enough bass to "feel" the music and not have the treble left high and dry. In my experience (my room is very similar size), you need a speaker that can go below 40Hz at -3dB.

The number 1 contributor to cold and analytical sound is insufficient bass....

I would recommend the Focal Electra 1037Be. It will have powerful bass but won't be boomy in 215sqft. I have older Electras and they are incredible with fast and dynamic music. They never sound thin or lean in any way. Prodigy's "Experience" sounds amazing. But there are many options and it will also depend on the amplifier you will be using and what type of finishing your room has.
