New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k

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.

KIKO 65 ty for the info. Did u listen to the Cannalis or the advanced model which is around 6k ?

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).

Really enjoyed the Scansonic bookshelf speakers at RMAF.
I think the price was around $2200. Nothing under $10,000 that surpassed them.
