Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]?


Hello everybody,

Let me start off by saying I don’t know much about hifi. I’m trying to educate myself by visiting forums like these and I’m learning some things but most information goes over my head. And most of you listen to classical/rock/jazz so it’s hard to find an opinion that is relevant to me without asking. I currently have a set of Kef ls50’s that I blind bought because of amazing reviews paired with an arcam a19 integrated amplifier and it’s basically the best purchase I’ve ever made. It’s made me appreciate music in a different way and now I would like to upgrade to a new setup in a designated music room with new speakers and new components. The room will be 12x17.

A store near me sells Harbeth speakers but I think I read bass is lacking in these but I may still try to audition them, I’m not really sure what else is well regarded in my price range..

There should be a Bryston dealer around you I would assume . Think they would be a great all around speaker for any genre. From the reviews I have read they can play loud without distortion . Many hifi speakers have a tilted treble to dazzle on unamplified instruments (classical , ect..) . You will want to avoid those like the plague .

Some brands I have heard crank popular music genres .Paradigm , PSB , Salk , Totem , Legacy ,

Thank you very much for your detailed response. It will actually be very helpful in my search since I don't really understand the hifi talk quite yet lol. 
I will be keeping my Kefs 100% as they really make some of my music shine but I guess with some stuff I'd like to have more bass/big sound but without sacrificing quality. 

@everybody else

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I will be researching everything suggested and I will stay away from the Harbeths as suggested lol. And so there's no confusion I will not be using the Arcam A19 on my new speakers, I will be buying a new setup completely.
No prob at all -and you can all call me Greg :)

One thing I would make sure that you look for is a set of speakers that can throw an absolutely massive sound stage that has incredible front and center focus that have zero muddiness.  Given your room size, that should be easy to do.

For your music preference, you want to make sure that whatever you go with, your speakers have the ability to sound that music is coming from all directions (including behind you) and still sound centered and focused.

Happy to share my personal preferences with you but at the end of the day, your ears alone will need to be the judge.

But in the end, the one thing that's indisputable is that if you want to listen to your music at realistic "live" volume levels, you're going to need some serious power to control the speakers.

I'm sure that you're going to enjoy this process and so glad that you have your first system that has awakened you to the possibilities.

Only happens once - enjoy it!
