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?

I'll chime in and agree with williewonka: Gershman.
I've never heard the Sonogram but have an origional pair of Gershman Avant Garde RX-20s playing in my main system with a JOB INT - and don't feel the need for anything else.
Bide your time, search the vintage market and find a Gershman product...
Tannoy Legacy Arden or second hand Prestige series like Canterbury GR
XTZ Divine Alpha
Proac
Spendor
Klipsch Forte I - with crites upgrades - hands down.  The sound swims around the room with these upgrade babies and no subwoofer needed!
