Full range speaker recommendation


Looking for recommendations for full range speakers. 

price range is sub $6000. Current setup is Jeff Rowland 501 Mono Blocks, Jeff Rowland Capri Preamp, McIntosh MCD-350 SACD, Cambridge CXN streamer, Rega P6 with Songbird low Mc. 
Room is 17’x15’2” with vaulted ceiling. 
Currently have ATC SCM 11V2 with two REL S2 subs. 
 

any insight would be greatly appreciated 🙏

I don’t think I’d try floorstanders with significant bass output in your room, and bass will be easier to manage (and likely better) with monitors and your subs.  I’d recommend Joseph Audio Prisms or used Pulsars as JA has done shows with Rowland electronics and apparently pair well, and the JA monitors will add some fullness and heft that you’re looking for.  Best of luck. 

The best stand mount speakers I have heard are Wilson Audio Duette. You get incredible sound with these. If you combine these with subwoofers.... I can't imagine the sound. Interestingly there is a listing on Audiogon for a used pair.

Other than that, my vote goes to Tekton Pendragon or Double Impact SE or Vandersteen 2CE Sig III with your subwoofers. I have the Double Impact SE and they are very dynamic speakers with LOTS of bass and punch. My Vandersteen speakers are the 2CE Sig II and paired with subs are very refined, less in your face.

If new, Spendor Classic 2/3.  If you look for gently used, you could step up to the Spendor Classic 1/2.

The Focal Aria posters are a waste - what a joke. Higher end Focal - sure. 

 

I can't recommend the Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII enough - with the subs you will fill in the very lowest the towers don't but they have EXCELLENT bass extension and super clear mid and upper ranges.

I had Maggie 1.7 and now 3.7i with dual subs in a 12 x 15 room and they sound fantastic
