30ft listening distance?!!!!
Well, that’s your issue, most speakers aren’t loud enough for >15ft away, especially not the LS50’s which are <85dB sensitive, I was gonna recommend the Philharmonic BMR (better than the Sierra-2 and LS50), but it’s barely more efficient than the LS50.
Your MA speakers are around 88dB (they aren’t super neutral so it’s hard to estimate), which means it needs about 1/2 the wattage the LS50 needs to get as loud, that’s a big difference, it also is a slightly easier load, so it likely gets around 2.2x as loud with the same wattage.
The Sierra-2 is also <87dB, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
The S400 is 88dB and 4ohm, so it should be fine.
The Polk LSiM703 is good.
The KEF R300 at 88dB is good. Accessories4Less has a new pair in gloss black and KEF recertified models for $1000 in gloss black, rosewood, and walnut.
The Selah Anniversario is good, but may be out of budget.
If ok with a wait in exchange for gorgeous cabinets, this Salk model, is real good.
