Looking for speaker suggestions

I am currently contemplating a speaker upgrade. I do very much like my current Shahinian Hawks and will most probably keep them in reserve, as I can always use the bottoms as a pair of subs. But I have listening more recently to a lot more Jazz and classic rock.

 I initially considered trying the Klipsch Heresy III’s again after owning the II’s years ago but from what I read they have not done away with the fatiguing factor that drove me from them initially. Although my system has changed dramatically since then also.

 I am thinking of keeping them used as you can usually end up with a speaker you can’t afford new that way, perhaps they are older technology but that is the tradeoff. Wilson Puppy could fit the bill, but condition is also a factor.

Listening room is dedicated, 15 x 25. Associated electronics, ARC LS27, Levinson 333, PS Audio Direct Stream, PS Memory Player and a Magnum Dynalab MD809

Budget, ideally around 5k but can go more for something exceptional (max 10k)

Suggestions?

Before you drop 10K on a pair of speakers, see if you can find someone within driving distance who has a pair of Tekton Double Impacts, especially if they are well broken in. Not only are they fantastic speakers, but you can also use your choice of amps to drive them. I had speakers that were far more expensive, but sold them after I auditioned the Double Impacts.

I agree with the first responder to your post who said let your ears be the judge. 

Good luck with your search.
