Setting up home office

After many years including 3 kids I am now returning to setting up a Soundsystem in my home office. I still have my Kef C15s from my military days so thats how long it has been since I had a sound system. 

Because of my job I spent quite an amount of time on the road and in hotels. So I got an Astell and Kern SP2000. Now that I work more at home I thought I would get a nice set up in my office. I currently have a Luxman DA-250 with two monoblock Luxman M-200 Amps. I am currently using the DAP as my source. That is a future upgrade. So looking at replacing the speakers. The source will be a future upgrade.

I play a wide genre of music from Jean Michelle Jarre, to Jim Crochet, Luciano Pavarotti, John Williams to Queen and Yoyo Ma.

Looking for guidance on suitable matched speakers.

Budget would be around 3k and not be too large for a 12-14 room.

Thanks,

Allan

Easy choice. Harbeth P3ESR XDs on stands. You can add subwoofers down the line. My son in law just got a pair and they are killer little loudspeakers in the mold of the old Rogers LS3 5A. It is the best small room loudspeaker I know of. The box is so small it is like having no box at all. This results in a beautiful image. With subwoofers crossed at 100 Hz and the right amplifiers you have the makings of a SOTA system.

Monitor Audio are excellent for clarity and detail. Have them in a second system. Budget-friendly too.

Thanks for the input. 

Harbeth have come up a couple of times. 

I will take a look at those recommended. 

Enjoying some John Williams this morning after cabling up what I have currently.
