Warm sounding speakers for Naim Nait5 & CD5 ??

I am looking for a set of speakers that
produce music with warmth and good pace.
Yes colored sound... Detail is not as
important. I want warm, pacy, involving
music with no edge.

The room is 14' by 20'. The speakers will
be 5 feet apart. 3 feet from each side wall
and 1.5 feet from the back wall. Floorstanders
or monitors with a super tight sub would work.

I will be buying used and my price range is
$1,000 to $1,5000.

So far I am thinking:

NEAT Petite with a sub
Spendor
Linn Ninka

Many Thanks
Tom

After much experimentation, I ended up pairing my Nait and Naim CD5x with Reference 3a Dulcets. I find this a delightful small room combo for a wide range of music, rhythmic, direct, warm.

Emil; Transparent I certainly agree with. Personally, I would not have described the sound as on the 'analytical side'; not for my Dulcets, nor for the De Capos (which I heard with different electronics). With all these terms, we may be using the same words, but trying to capture different personal experience.

In using the term 'warm' I was trying to capture a satisfying natural richness in the mid-range, and highs that were clear without excessive brightness. I did not mean coloured in the sense of 'warm and fuzzy'. 'Analytic' in this context puts me in mind of a sound that may be detailed, but not particularly involving; somewhat flat or dry if you like. You may mean something quite different.
