You might consider Fyne Audio speakers, which generally get good reviews.the F700 bookshelf and the F501 SP floorstanding both come in at $4800 a pair. I have the F-702 floorstanding models, and they are simply superb in terms of tonal qualities and sound stage. I am driving them with a Rogue audio tubed preamp and a pair of solid state monobloc amplifiers. I think they are simply superb speakers. I listen to classical, soft rock, vocalists from the 1940s to 1960s, music like CCR and the Moody Blues. I have both a streamer using Tidal and a Thorens turntable for LPs,mincluding some “audiophile” LPs from the 1980s.
New speakers for $5000
I’m looking for new speakers for about $5,000. My integrated amp is a Luxman 505z and I have a Rel s/812. The source is an Innuous Pulse with the LPSU and a Chord dac. The room is about 12 by 16. I like acoustic, blues and jazz. I was thinking about the Harbeth Compact 7Es 3 xd 2 or the Totem Forest. I’d grateful for any input. Thanks.

I would also recommend GR Research. I picked up a set of LGK 2.4 towers recently and am amazed at their detail and holographic image. I've heard hundreds of speakers, (ex-flipper) and these are absolute keepers... https://youtu.be/vVosFcsfumY?si=tyHRfm8_VzL4DwSX
