Bookshelf speaker rec

Try Omega speakers from CT. I have 2. A bookshelf/semi-tower https://omegaloudspeakers.com/products/available-now-j8-demo-in-cherry and one tower https://omegaloudspeakers.com/collections/tower-speakers/products/junior-8xrs?variant=38555244684

I had both of them shipped to Dubai. Got one for a friend too (the Super 8). He loves them. I have their amp too- I think I was the launch/pilot customer last year. Louis the owner is a great guy. The ones above are amazing speakers and also much below your budget. For $5k you could get something way better from him.

I'm a big Fritz Carbon 7 Mk. 2 SE fan and have done a review. I also like Ascend Acoustics ELX towers with RAAL ribbon tweeters. Both punch way above their weight. 

BTW - how do you quote?

Like many other respondents here, I'm also wondering why you would want to pursue bookshelf speakers for a room of those dimensions, assuming you want to fill that room with good sound fidelity

I was initially thinking cost. I was thinking that 5k would get me a really good pair of bookshelf speakers, but not a really good pair of floorstanding speakers. It appears as tho that thinking was flawed. 

Fyne Audio speakers are great, especially if you love mid-range. You'll probably want a sub to go with these bookshelf speakers, though.

No highs, no lows - must be Fyne Audio? I thought it was supposed to be a different brand ☺️

But on a serious note - I’m very curious about the brand, but there’s no store near by that carries them. So it remains a curiosity for now..

I would look at B&W, Revel, and Klisph, but also with this much volume in the room, I would get a good sub, Martin Logan, SVS make good subs but can be a little pricey considering your budget if $5000
