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.

@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.
Buy some tannoys
Legacy or prestige series...you will never go back to anything else, lifetime speakers. Oldest speaker manufacturer in the world.
Peter Breuninger has been reviewing the world's best audio gear for many decades, and recently he reviewed a $15,000 speaker that he says is a "breakthrough" speaker and the best he's heard.  You can see his review here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma7dvPyr5T0 

I contacted the Chicago dealer today, and he said they offer a 60 day money back guarantee.
