Warm but holographic & forward vocals.


Is there such a speaker?  I’m sure there is but I haven’t heard one myself as I haven’t listened to a variety of speakers in some time. 
 

Looking to move on from my Tekton DI’s (incredible speaker) and move to something a bit more lush, warm in midrange but then with a forward (not bright) holographic type vocals. 
 

Bookshelf/tower, doesn’t matter but want something smaller than the Tekton, which is pretty much everything lol. 
 

under $5k used, lower is better.

Speakers sound differently depending on how they're positioned and the nature of the room's acoustics. Why do these questions always mention the room only as an afterthought?

Thank you @holmz really appreciate the recommendations.  And yes, Soule Domaine is still there!  Have only been once, it's an odd spot! 

 

@erik_squires I might reach out to Fritz about getting a pair sent over here.  

I also had somebody recommend the Cornwall IV, they said that the speaker is much warmer in the midrange than previous versions and isn't bright either.

In my 30 years of being in audio I have never spent time with a Dynaudio speaker! So weird to think......   

My experience is that Dynaudio's W shaped curve has the forward midrange you were asking about. 

Another option, and again, it's not for me, is Dali.  See if that's the type of tonal balance you are looking for.  They elevate the mid-treble significantly which makes them better listeners at low volume.
