Best $4000-$5000 loudspeaker


- Price range from $4000 to $5000, new or used.
- Room average size.
- Average efficiency (or good, of course).
- -3dB at 40Hz or better bass extension.
- Capable to be enjoyable at low listening levels.

Opinions are welcome. I have not introduced higher constraints, so that opinions suit other enthusiasts.
Regards and thanks.

There is a pair of the newest Merlin VSM-MMs w/BAM for sale right now at about $4K. A steal at that price. Vandy 3A sigs would be quite a bit cheaper and used could be bought with a 2WQ sub, which would be a very nice full range system.
I would listen to a pair of used Verity Audio Fidelios. They excell at low level listeneing, but can play loud if need be!
There is a pair of totem Shamans for just under 5k right now. They are great and retail for 11k.
