Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk

lots of good ground covered here already... scott at verdant has made excellent contributions, esp. good with what amps drive what speakers well

i only have a few points to add...

- at this level of cost for speakers, all recommended ones are going to be excellent but they will each present the music in their special way, and will appeal to listeners seeking particular strengths -- and there are many many of them out there worth consideration

- given this, it would helpful if the op would share what speakers/systems he has owned or heard and particularly enjoyed, or that he was told were ’great systems’ that he was underwhelmed by

- also, if there are some other pieces of gear (tt, cartridge, dac etc etc) that op would like to run in this new system of amps/speakers, that would be good to factor in

more input of this sort would help narrow the field among a multitude of qualified and legit contenders

Be sure to audition planar speakers. Personally, I’m into Quad ESL arrays. 2905 / 2912 described as clarity without edge - but also, no head-banging volume. YMMV

I don't think it's a reasonable budget, it's such a wide range. You could get everything you need for that room size for 5K

Both pushing the top end of your budget, Avalon and Estelon are two brands to look for.

This might do. There is another pair on Audiogon, different colour.
Add D'Agostino Momentum integrated or separates, add some cables and cords and you are almost done. Yes, the source, but you didn't ask about that.
MBL and SoundLabs are interesting choices, so is Kharma.
