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 !

+whatever for the Joseph Pulsar Graphene.   They are the best small stand Mount speaker I’ve heard.   The Audio Physic Spark is the second best.   Third for my ears is the ProAc Super Tablette Signature.   All need to be well paired with subwoofers.

 

YMMV.

Looks like I have a lot of good suggestions !

I`ll do my homework so that when the right pair pop up I`ll be ready (I hope)

To get a taste of what stand mount/bookshelves will sound like with my subs I took the bass section jumper bars off the Revels.

I`ll have a listen later on...should prove interesting.

Marten Parker Duo are fantastic. Not sure if you can find used for $5k, maybe for $6k.

I personally use Canton Reference 9K and is very happy but they are a lot cheaper and not as good as the Marten's.

Boenicke W5 are great. Fyne has some great stand mounts too.
