Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair

Totem Element Fire V2’s.  I’ve had the Raidho XT-1’s and I prefer the Totems.  The tweeter isn’t Raidho but the soundstage the torrent drives put out is absolutely incredible.  Phenomenal bass as well.

...Totem Mani ll - one of the best EVER!

Legacy Calibes; I've not heard a monitor with dynamics like this.
The AMT tweeter is very sweet and extended; It's a 3-way speaker in a 
2-way box with a dedicated 8" bass driver firing up. The best speaker
I've ever owned-

I have to address the room considering it is problematic including echo and multiple hard surfaces that are hard to address with acoustic treatment. I have put an 8 x 10 area rug which has made a subtle difference. I’m planning on putting drapes in the main listing area which also should reduce reflections . Listening Area is 13 wide by 12 long. Changing to the short wall made a big difference compared to positioning the speakers lengthwise Which is 12 wide by 40 long (condo – kitchen family room) I’m also thinking of a room correction system. The mid range and top end is considerably better with the changes I made and transitioning to a bookshelf from floorstanding loudspeakers has made those in the experience much better. Floor standers are overwhelming the room. Any room correction Electronics or equipment that has room correction built-in.

@rushfan... 😂😂😂. I agree with you!

@jcwaudio... did you get anything yet?  If not, go buy some Fritz Carrera BE’s.  Really nice 7” Scan Speak Revelator and an incredible Beryllium tweeter.  The series crossovers are really nice.  The speakers are the bomb and a steal at $3500...

If you are looking at standmount speakers only, buy some Carreras!
