$5k or less speakers (used or new)?


I’m looking at some KEF R11 and R7’s and have listened to them (not at home)

Phase Technology PC 9.5 (in the lead)

What others would you recommend I take a look at?

im usually the type of speaker buyer that seems to prefer the non traditional over marketed audiophile speaker.

Need to know what sound/performance characteristics you’re looking for and value most.  Also, how big is your room and what amp will you be using?
Room is: 16’ x 22’ 9’ tall

I am running two emotiva UPA-1 mono block amps pushing Phase Technology PC 3.5 speakers. 

They are larger bookshelf speakers that absolutely fill that large room without a doubt. 
I like a more smooth natural sounding speaker. 
I’ve auditioned the Paradigm Persona line and the tweeter seems to irritate me after a bit. 
I’m happy with my current speakers but I think I want something larger to play louder. 😜
