Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium


Looking to upgrade from paradigm sigs8v2. Willing to buy new or used.  My room is 12x16x8 ft. Looking for floor standers. Trying to get away from beryllium in case of kids accidentally damage them.

Thanks.

+1 for Joseph Audio Perspective2.  Show after show, JAudio has the most lifelike sound without edginess..  I'd just listen to some average recordings to make sure those also sound good.
B&W 800D3. 12 inch woofers with diamond tweeters (with protective screens). I've never heard the Joseph Audio's but people RAVE about them. Lastly, Volti Audio horn speakers -Like Klipsch but built by fanatics.
Let us know what you go with...
@smodtactical I see you are still on the hunt for speakers. Last year, we spoke of the Yamaha NS 5000 and your audition at Kennedy HiFi and also the Personas. I may still get the Persona 9H for another room but in the next few months I will be putting some cash down on the Yamaha.

That speaker finally came to the USA and it was available at a local dealer for me to demo.  Your comments on the NS 5000 helped me make the effort to do an inconvenient drive and have a listen.  It was a crappy demo room but I could hear the potential in the speaker. I may do a home demo to confirm my feelings or maybe just get it without the home demo.

Thanks for the correspondence on this.
