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.

I auditioned the Paradigm Persona speakers twice, in two locations, and though I found some aspects impressive, each time I found myself getting fatigued from the character of the highs.  Not surprising given the rise around 1K in the Stereophile measurements.  I was less impressed hearing them the second time.
But, I can understand why others may really like them.
If John Paul Jones song Bass ’n’ Drums at unhealthy levels are in your taste the speaker for you are the Quested v3110. An active monster for pros. Naturally they play everything you give them with the same self confidence. Yamaha NS 5000 may be a interesting contender.
@prof  might certainly be one of those situations where there is an initial big wow factor but the more you listen the more you might get fatigued. I wonder if this can be tamed with tubes though.
