If you aren’t a tech fetishistic i would you first recommend to go for a used speaker. New speakers need break-in time which sometimes is very long, from 200 to 500 hours. That means a lot of days, weeks o even months, waiting till you start to listen to something decent. Do no believe to the manufacturer info regarding break-in time, they mostly lie regarding that topic.
With a used speaker you bypass this issue.
Moreover there is an immense price/quality ratio gap between new and used. In my experience the gap is toughly 10/1 which means you need to spend about 20.000 for a new speaker if you want to match the quality of an 15 years old 2.000 Euro speaker. For 2.000 euro you get many 15 years old reference speakers. A speaker can easily live 30-40 years if well handled.
Regarding a more precise advise i can recommend you the Dynaudio Contour 3.3 or the 3.0. You should find the 3.3 starting from 1500 to 2000 Euro. The 3.0 should be cheaper and more suitable for a smaller room. I had the opportunity to share with many people, many of them musicians, and for many months, side by side the new Dynaudio Contour 60 (10.000 Euro) and the old Contour 3.3. The old 3.3 was better under every aspect. Sound stage was unbelievable better, timbre much more natural, overall sound rendering immensely more precise. The Contour 3.3 are incredible speakers. They are power hungry! But keep in mind, the most important thing is, if you don’t want to torture your ears for entire weeks or months avoid buying anything new. Or at least inform yourself very carefully in this forum which are new speakers who 1.000% do not need any break-in time. Probably there are some. Last adivise, try to manage to give them a listening session in your room with our amp before you buy.
