I listen to strictly rock and roll, loudly. Tekton Double impacts upgraded in large room. Smaller secondary room, same rock and roll, great bookshelf speaker, Fritz carbon 7SE, both within your price range. Enjoy Robert TN
Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market
I’m asking for listeners’ experience in this bracket, buttressed by reviews and/or data; I am not a fan of "whatever sounds good to you." Ultimately, yes, that will be the case. But in getting to that point, I’m looking to benefit from the advantage of a thousand pairs of ears rather than mine alone. Those ears can include the inanimate. Thank you.
My experience has included my own Elac 403, Elac 407, and Dynaudio Special 40. Auditions have included various Sonus Faber, and Magico. All of this is in preparation for justifying the leap for an Electa Amator lll or its equivalent. But that’s for another day, another forum.

With your amp I would check out Audiokinesis speakers. A very interesting speaker concept, that can sound optimal with tube amps in a moderate / fairly large room. The point here is not just the speakers and their components, but how well they manage to play "with" the room on the one hand, and matching the amp on the other hand. |
@bigtwin +1 for goldenear 1.r and they're only $5k now to boot! |
there are a lot of speakers in the price range.
hope your not busy for a year, so many to listen to.
personally, i would save some scratch, and i would get the Acoustic energy 520. don't pay for a company name. buy what your ears like and make the hair stand on arms and neck, THEN you will have a keeper, regardless of price. |
