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.

Thanks everyone for so much useful input. Do anyone have thoughts about the Audio Physic Classic 25?  I auditioned them with my equipment and was very impressed. 

I don’t know where you’re located but, have you auditioned RBH Sound speakers? In your price range you could get something really nice and in custom colors. 

Those classic 25's look really good, similar to the old Merlin and 2000 era Mission speakers. You're going to sacrifice some spl for the compact clean look, but if you can get a home demo and they sound good in your place, congrats.

Just throwing this out there. Last couple of used Volti Razz that have come up for sale here and USAM for about $5k. I am still over the moon with my pair.. I'm sure it'll come as no surprise to folks here as I usually go on and on about them.
