I listened to all sorts of bookshelf speakers in your price range with essentially the same focus on richness, warmth, bass, and jazz. The best I heard, and eventually bought, was a pair of demo Trenner & Fried ART speakers. Exceptional craftsmanship, with warm and rich sound, plenty of bass for near field listening, and a perfect fit for jazz and vocals. The ARTs are the kind of speaker that transports you to the event, and with your listed gear, you would be in for a real treat. I have used various Cardas cables in my system with the ARTs, and they only added to the realism given that the speakers are wired with Cardas. Hope that helps!
Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich
I really like my ATC Scm7s that I use at my desk but I want something warmer, richer more bassy. Something that does well with vocals and jazz.
Budget is $5000. They are being driven by arc ref5se and pass x350.8, dac is denafrips terminator. Thanks.
