Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers

Right now I`m using Revel F52`s along with 4 subs.

I`m looking to change things up just for fun.

My room is 18'x22' with a sloping ceiling that goes from 8' to 13' and I have acoustic panels for sound treatment in place.

I don`t want the 'head in a vice' sweet spot first and foremost.

I`ll be keeping the 4 subs so deep bass is not a requirement but a big open sound with great midrange is.

I like detail and pinpoint imaging too.

The bookshelf speakers have to be as good or better than the F52`s (sans bass response) across the board.

Looking forward to your suggestions !

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Budget upper limit is around $5K used.

I do want a disappearing act set of speakers. Heard the Sonus Faber Olympica 

 Nova 5`s back in the fall and really liked what I heard.

If I could get that sound from a set of bookshelves I`d be set 😋

My amp is an ATI 3002. I don`t want to go with active `s but I appreciate the suggestion. Thanks

Looks like I have a lot of good suggestions !

I`ll do my homework so that when the right pair pop up I`ll be ready (I hope)

To get a taste of what stand mount/bookshelves will sound like with my subs I took the bass section jumper bars off the Revels.

I`ll have a listen later on...should prove interesting.
