New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 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.

I hope they sound like 10,000 speakers because that's what they cost.

I listened to the JMR offrende supreme V2 and at 5900 shipped I decided to order them, they were stunning to listen to. I got almost 2k off

Best bookshelfs that I have heard in this price range:
Totem Mani-2
or secondhand, Dynaudio Special 25, C1
