Looking for speaker suggestions


I am currently contemplating a speaker upgrade. I do very much like my current Shahinian Hawks and will most probably keep them in reserve, as I can always use the bottoms as a pair of subs. But I have listening more recently to a lot more Jazz and classic rock.

 I initially considered trying the Klipsch Heresy III’s again after owning the II’s years ago but from what I read they have not done away with the fatiguing factor that drove me from them initially. Although my system has changed dramatically since then also.

 I am thinking of keeping them used as you can usually end up with a speaker you can’t afford new that way, perhaps they are older technology but that is the tradeoff. Wilson Puppy could fit the bill, but condition is also a factor.

Listening room is dedicated, 15 x 25. Associated electronics, ARC LS27, Levinson 333, PS Audio Direct Stream, PS Memory Player and a Magnum Dynalab MD809

Budget, ideally around 5k but can go more for something exceptional (max 10k)

Suggestions?

Ohm would probably be as close to the Shahinians, in my opinion.
But, if you are looking for something different, perhaps Magnepan or Vandersteen.

I have Klipsch Forte series I's and no fatigue at all. Yes there is a big difference from yours to mine. I also use Revel Performa3 F208 (not 206's). Love both of them and I listen to Jazz, contemporary roots country, 70's and 80's rock. Forte series 1's you can pick up @$700 or less. 
For $5k the Vandersteen 3a are amazing! Or if you need the aesthetics and an upgrade in capability the Treo’s are out of this world for $7500, not have amazing sound stage and full range for whatever you may be listening to.
In your range you could get a used pair of Vandersteen Quattro Wood and have a few bucks left over
new Treo CT, essentially same tweeter technology as the $62K flagship
i fit the fanboy bill but with other girlfriends...
i have a pair of Cornwalls nicely updated in the garage....
but
you should go listen for sure
there are some great dealers out there who carry a real mix of things
just listen long enough to get past wow and hi-fi and into the mystic....
er
i meant
music...

I have new Forte III's and am very impressed. The best Klipsch speaker I have owned of 4 different pair. Never owned Heresy's but would like to some time. I agree, the Triton Series from GoldenEar are excellent and excel with jazz. Some find the ribbon tweeter a bit to diffuse, certainly not like a horn. I have owned both and prefer the dynamics of the horns I the newer Klipsch...
