Suggestions on a Musical, Full Range Speaker

I currently have a Clayton M300 SS amps, with Cary SLP-05 & 306 CD player and looking for high end full range speakers that are musical and not fatiguing. Room size is 13 x 21 with 8 ft ceiling consisting of hardwood floor over basement and standard drywall walls. Room has large rug, furniture, wall treatments, and two large openings to other large rooms. Speakers potentially located 10 ft apart and 1 feet from wall. Interested in creating a demo list of potential contenders in the $5-12k range new/used that would be considered class A for the category.

I am using Dynaudiio Contour 5.4's in my large (16x30) room, with great results. Listening is always a good experience. I have found, however, they sound their best when located 6' from back wall, and 5' from side walls in an equilateral triangle to listening position. (Measurements approximate). A great new speaker from Dynanaudio is the Sapphire, at the upper end of your price limit, but they are really special, and only a thousand will be made. If I could afford them, I would surely order a pair.

Best of luck, and enjoy,
Dan

I love those Dynaudios too, Sapphires, very nice. In your range I think you have to test drive the Quad 2905, they are truly sublime and would match very well with your already excellent gear. Also, check out the Linn Accurates.

Good luck, post some pictures when you choose.

You could always get yourself some corner horns, such as the Klipschorns.
