Best Bookshelf speaker 1300.00 budget

Paradigm S20 V.5 .

I'd try to listen to the Paradigms and Dynaudio Excite X12s.

I'm picking up a pair of the new KEF 50 anniversary speakers for a second system. I also heard the new SF bookshelf speakers are special.

The Dunlavy SC-1 has been out of production for some years, but still remains a benchmark in bookshelf size performance. All of the Dunlavy line of speakers from the mighty SC-VIs on down were built to the same standards and each lab tested before being released to the public. Dunlavy still has quite a loyal following and is often a revelation to those who come upon these speakers for the first time.

I was thinking of going with dulcets from Ref 3A..however ill need tube amps etc and that can run me another 1200 or so..so gotta keep dollars down
