Best Bookshelf speaker 1300.00 budget

Imaging/clarity are most important. Will be used as 2 channel stereo system with no sub. Don't need alot of bass for my listening..however some is needed. Have listened to Revel M105 1300.00 pr and from reputation Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1 for 850 or so. Willing to listen to recommendations. This is for a small living room that is not closed in...10 by 12.

Yes I am a big Legacy fan but I find it hard to equal their Studio HDs at 1575.00 with anything under 2500.00.
If you can afford the extra cash their black pearl finish is outstanding.Its like a piano finish.
Hearing is believing go check them out.
With sensitivity of 93 DB.
How many bookshelves give you an 7"driver and a ribbon tweeter
to boot?

Audition a pair of GoldenEar Aon3 or Aon2 stand-mounted speakers before you buy. GoldenEar is well-distributed and it shouldn't be hard for you to find a showroom nearby. You may want to see if you can bring your own amplification. The GoldenEars are very revealing of the quality of electronics upstream, and the showroom may have them paired with a mass-market receiver which won't do the speakers justice at all.

These things are smooth, transparent, musical, and definitely don't need a sub, especially in a 10x12 room.
