Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers

Right now I`m using Revel F52`s along with 4 subs.

I`m looking to change things up just for fun.

My room is 18'x22' with a sloping ceiling that goes from 8' to 13' and I have acoustic panels for sound treatment in place.

I don`t want the 'head in a vice' sweet spot first and foremost.

I`ll be keeping the 4 subs so deep bass is not a requirement but a big open sound with great midrange is.

I like detail and pinpoint imaging too.

The bookshelf speakers have to be as good or better than the F52`s (sans bass response) across the board.

Looking forward to your suggestions !

They use an outboard crossover so you don't need to buy a new amp and get the benefit of an active design.

I've not heard them but have heard their bigger brother the Perspectives twice now and they sounded amazing. From reviews the Pulsars sound similar but without the low end.
