Speakers for Pathos Classic One MKIII


Hello Gents. My system consists of the following components:

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit (DC) Turntable
Pro-Ject USB DAC Box S2+
Pathos Classic One MKIII Integrated Hybrid Amplifier
Klipsch RP-600M Speakers

I have this system form more than a year but I think I'm tired of the forward sound of the Klipsches. To be honest I really like the dynamics, the clarity and the details but I'm enough of the sound right in my face, so I'm looking for a floorstander under 1000$ that have a more relaxed, warm - laid back sound. My priorities would be:

1. Musical
2. Refined
3. Rich/Body/Texture
4. Relaxed
5. Clarity/Details
6. Good LF extension

I've made some basic research and came to the following options:

- Q Acoustics 3050i
- PSB Alpha T20
- KEF Q550
- Wharfedale Diamond 230
- Dali Zensor 5

What do you think of these options guys? Would you recommend something else?

Thanks!

I know Fyne Audio makes floor standers in that price range, I believe its the F303
Thanks for your response  freediver. Do you have any suggestion for tubes under 100$ for pair. 

Thanks
dealer is using pathos integrated with paradigm persona with excellent results. most natural presentation you could ask for.
@celestial_sound there isn't one near me either, I ordered a set and they have a return policy. I'm in Central CA and there's a dealer in SoCal so it worked out for shipping. I'm running a pair of Schiit Aegirs to the F501 and I'm beyond impressed with them, they aren't going back.
