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.

With a multiple of 2 and close to a square room, I would suggest going asymmetrical. Then you can easily deal with the uneven bass response the room dealt you with the Analog Room compensation adjustments of the Vandersteen Kento or Quatro as the solid performance solution. Best, JohnnyR

My short list in that $ range would be: Vandersteen Quatro CT; Joseph Perspective; Vivid Kaya 45 or B1 Decade.
Larry, The Sound Labs Ultimate 545's are not that large at all. Yes the 845s are huge but the 545's are quite reasonable and the sound very much like the big ones just not quite as efficient. 
Guys thanks so much for all the thought provoking suggestions.

Some more details about My listening or that I listen to a variety of genres of music including jazz come, classical, ambient, techno and folk/Celtic/medieval music.

Right now my system consists of a audio HD he9 preamp, denafrips terminator dac, dual bryston 4bsst2 amps.

The most intriguing speakers to me right now Are the YG, Joseph perspective, vandersteen, legacy, And the Yamaha and nS 5000. I am located in Ontario Canada so most of these speakers are not available for audition. I am also open to some of the panel speakers you guys are recommending and will look into them.
