Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range

My setup is in a 1200 sq foot loft apartment. Im thinking about dynaudio focus 260. Any thought on those or possibly focal 826w.

Thanks for all the info

I've said it before here, will say it again to anybody who will listen ... the Vapor Audio Cirrus is an absolute revelation in that price range. My search for years has been to find a speaker that fleshes out all the details in music, all the tonal richness and density ... but without sounding harsh, edgy, or analytical. For a long time I gave up and resorted to owning a pair of Harbeth HL5 and Micro Utopia Be at the same time. When I got tired of one I'd switch to the other for a change of pace.

But neither of those ever satisfied, the Vapor Cirrus does. It does intimacy better than the Harbeth, and detail better than the Focal. It's everything I was looking for and then some.

I've become a fanboy, yes ... but only after owning and loving the speakers. They earned my fanboy-ism :)

Will, A few more questions for you if you don't mind. Is this for home theater listening as well? If so, what is your breakdown of listening to music compared to movies? Is one more important to you? How loud to you listen? Are you willing to add a subwoofer? People have been recommending some great monitors. Is that an option for you? Is waf a factor? Lastly, Will you be in the the loft forever?

Buy a used $10,000 speaker

Pair of Linn Akurate 242's on Agon right now at $3500. Stupidly cheap and one hell of a speaker. Read what Art Dudley wrote about them a few years ago...hasn't changed.
Obviously you are not afraid of change so you may see yourself buying into their way of upgrading those all the way up to active if and when your funds allow. These are wildly underappreciated speakers.

A good deal at their retail of $10,400.
