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.

Try Klipsch Forte IV.  Currently using with Luxman 590AXII and S/510 in a room that is just slightly smaller than yours.

As unusual great suggestions ...

I have Revel and have loved them; a lot of research on neutral musicality goes into its offerings.   

Never heard them but if I were in the market: Ascend, Totem and Monitor would be atop the list.

Maybe Devore ... just to mess things up

For the kind of music you like, I could definitely recommend Harbeths; I had Super HL5's for about 5 years before I decided to try something else, and in retrospect, I saw that the Harbeths were not that appropriate in my system for the kind of music I like, which is rock and reggae; I needed speakers with a bit more excitement.
