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.

PAP Trio’s, will need less room treatments than a box, wall of sound, high efficiency. Lots to like.

@smodtactical Perhaps you could list your amp and source? That might help focus the recommendations.  Rugged, dnamic box speakers helps some, but there are still a *lot* of options out there in that price range.

Also, new or used price range?  I'd personally be tempted to try used big tannoys or classic audio, but I err on the side of sensitivities in the mid-90s.
Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT. Hard to top even though cost of pair will land in the bottom half of your range. Dynamic, lifelike sound with excellent imaging.
In that price range - there is little, if any, that can match the sound of the Legacy Audio Aeris - the Focus SE's are close (both with AMT tweeters).

The only ones that might be better are those from GT Audio Works - superb (planar drivers and ribbon tweeters). 

Few speakers at any price can match these.
