Warm airy musical speakers?


I am a newbie to Hifi. Well I have been reading on forums on and off for the last 5 years, but never had any system myself.

I'm a musician myself and have an idea of what type of sound I'm looking for. It is a warm, airy, open and organic sound with good midrange for vocals. Listen to jazz, acoustic music, norah jones, Diana Krall etc..

I don't like a cold and bright type of sound.

I've read alot of sonus faber, venere 1.5/2.0. Could be that kind of speaker I'm looking for?! Also I have read about focal aria 906. Seems to get great reviews.

I live far off any hifi-stores so I thought I will collect some good candidates for listening, when I visit a bigger city.

My budget is around $2000 - $2300 for both speaker and amplifier. New or used doesn't matter. For an amplifier I'm interested in tubes..

All recommendations are welcome!

Yes, can't go wrong building around Dynaudio speakers for warm and airy.

Not that they are overtly warm, they are not , they are reasonably neutral in general, but may tend slightly in that direction depending on setup.

I'd say the Esotar tweeters used in the Dynaudios are a lot of what might make them special in your case. Air comes mostly from clean and extended treble into the highest frequencies, and the Dynaudios and Esotar tweeter they use are exceptionally good in this regard.

Just make sure your budget can cover a good quality amp of 80 watts or more with good current delivery specifications, in other words abe to double power output as much as possible from 8 to 4 ohms.
Glad you finally got out to listen. It's amazing how speakers sound to you that folks on here may love. We are all different and yes, your room plays as big a part as anything, just like some folks have posted. You seem to know WHAT you want in regards to sound. Remember that full bass extension is where the real cost is in audio. Depending on your budget you may or may not be able to afford everything. That's the whole deal of all of us chasing our tails to get audio nirvana. Sometimes you have to figure out what you can't do without and then adjust your budget accordingly. There are a few brands out there that are considered true 'deals'. It's usually because of the balance struck by the designer. Also keep in mind that components will sound differently with others. A great budget amp may not sound as good with a best buy, budget speaker. It's fun if you just go with it. Sounds like you'll be obsessing pretty soon if you aren't already. Roll with it. Personally, right now I'd get a GREAT integrated amp and a nice set of electrostatic headphones while you are looking and saving up for special speakers to go with said amp. That's just me though. Keep on enjoying.
Consider the Marantz integrated amp and some Spendors, or stretch your budget to the new Ascend Acoustics Sierra-2.
