Good Bookshelf Speakers B & W, Dynaudio, Paradigm

I would get comments regarding selecting a good pair of bookshelf speakers. We haved own B & W P5s and then graduated to 804s but due to the new house I have to find a good pair of bookshelfs to replace the 804s.

The space will allow a speaker up to 15 inches high so that rules out the B&W 805 and 705. I am leaning toward the CM5s but would like to get input if it is worth finding a dealer for Dynaudio or Paradigm Signature Series. We will use them for listening to music but also part of a home theater setup.

Thanks in advance

Provided your amp is up to it - why not consider the NHT Classic Threes? I love mine - but they do require a good bit of juice to run.

Sell your amp/preamp and buy a pair of AVI ADM9.1's. Better than B&W and Proac.

Well I finally decided and went with Revel M22s. I listed to the B & W CM7, CM5, Dynaudio and Paradigm.

The Revels are really good speakers have a very neutral sound and great vocals.

At the same time I have upgraded to an Arcam AVR 350 receiver.

Now thinking of swapping out the Denon disc player.

thanks for the help.

Try auditioning these speakers:

From England:

ATC 11s
B & W 685
Neat Motive 3is
Spendor SA1s

From Denmark:

DALI Lektor 2.0s

I think all of these are best in market at the moment and are at different price points.
