New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k

Narrowing down my selection and the reference 3 a mm de capo with all the current upgrades seems to be the winner thus far. That speaker is around 3k. In the next sequence of spending upwards..we have the 3k to 6k bookshelves..im interested in what anybody has listended to that is mind blowing.

Spiral Groove Canalis Anima is the best bookshelf speakers I have ever auditioned, regardless of price. Don't own them.......yet :-)

Like the Ref. 3As too, but I'd go for a lightly used pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars.

I have extensively auditioned the Canalis Anima at least a dozen times at my local dealer (Hollywood Sound), mostly driven by top of the line Rogue Audio through Townshend Audio Rock 7/Lyra Kleos or WT Amadeus/Lyra Delos. StraightWire Maestro speaker/interconnect cables.

Larry (owner) and I both agree that this unassuming gem is all you will ever need for a medium size room. Currently saving to buy me a pair :-)

Why the wait? I'm very happy with the GoldenEar Triton 7s for my large listening room and the Silverline Minuet Supreme Pluses for my small listening room.

I have auditioned both the Anima and the Anima CS.

The advance model (CS) will bring the price close to 6Ks and it claims to incorporate a number of "special noise-reduction" treatments. Not to my ears. Definitely not worth the steep price for basically the same speaker.

The Anima retails for $3,250.00 w/out stands. The dedicated stands are pricey! Around $1,500.00.

Honestly, we used Sound Anchor stands and they sounded fantastic!

John Marks posted a great review of the Canalis Anima on Stereophile (Feb 19, 2013).
