Help to chose acoustic

need advice. I've been looking for a speaker system for almost half a year now. listened to quite a few models. three-way systems are a priority, since I believe that three-way systems have less distortion. Harbeth liked the realism of vocals, but pushed the look out. the Wharfedale Linton 85th liked the design, but not the sound. Klipsch Heresy was disappointed by the lack of bass, although it looks attractive. Modern fashion columns are not very interesting, I like the shape like a vintage acoustics, but I'm afraid to take the vintage itself due to possible breakdowns. I'm looking for a speaker system at a price of three and a half thousand dollars. now in confusion, because what you like externally doesn't like by sound, what you like by sound, you don't like externally.

Why would you think three way speakers have less distortion? The lowest distortion speaker made is a one way. Sound Labs.
Get the Heresy's and add subwoofers down the line. Heresy's work fabulously well with subs. 110 dB no sweat!

Get yourself a pair of JBL L100 with the orange or blue grills... sweet!  The Klipsch Heresy and a sub (or 3 or 4) is a good recommendation also.

capitanblood , 

 It seems like you already found the speaker your ears prefer with The Harbeth HL5plus and it fits well with your musical preference. You could always buy a used pair to get closer to your budget, or wait until you can afford new.
Harbeth also offers different finishes, which might help with appearance. I feel the Hartbeth speakers are beautiful looking. You could also have the grille covers removed from them , which might be more appealing to you visually. The sound of the speaker should be the most important thing to you.

you're right, it seems my ears really chose these English unsightly boxes. I would not want to enroll in the Harbetoman sect, but the vocals in their performance are the most lively. the only thing I don’t understand is why Alan Shaw doesn’t want to improve their appearance, because their ugliness is visible not only to me. thanks.
