Bookshelf Recommendations

Long time, first time here. Looking to upgrade my current speakers. While I know the best way to judge is by actually LISTENING to a set-up, I've read a lot of positive reviews of the SVS Ultimas. Does anyone here have first hand experience with those or a similar bookshelf at the +/-$1k price point?

My listening space is 12 x 12, with a Carver M1.5t power amp and CJ PV-12 pre.

I've only heard/owned the Ref 3A and Sonus Faber of those mentioned by @tomic601, but they're both superb choices.

The LSA-1, if you can find a pair, punches way above its price point.

+1 for Vandy VLR's.
I owned a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelves, but the Vandies leave them in the dust.

I appreciate everyone taking some of their time to share their expertise and knowledge. Much food for thought, the majority of which I was not even familiar, having focused primarily on “the usual suspects,” with respect to manufacturers.

Even if it comes down to throwing a dart, I’ll have some better targets on the board...
