I need advice on which speaker

I’m looking anything at around 4-6k ( willing to go higher if need be
) but auditioning is a bit of challenge
24’ x’15’ room. i have parsound HINT amp and mostly stream jazz, classical, rock.
thanks
the speakers would be for music 2 channel only.
I’m leaning towards RBH, monitor audio, B&W, KEF, sonus faber, salk sound.

what are some of your favorites the would meet my needs
thanks

I like chrshanl37s’ approach. Best way to learn what one truly prefers regarding sonics of ones’ system.  However not so easy to buy/sell large speakers, given shipping concerns.

A shout out for Thiel CS 2.7- you have the prefect space for this speaker.

Just like mesch, I agree.  Reread chrshanl37s post.  

I also like this approach to find the a speaker that is "best for you".  And not someone else.  While it may be impractical for some to buy several pairs and then sell them off, you can order a pair at a time, audition them and return the pair you don't like often within a very liberal amount of time.  The point is to be able to audition them in your room and with your electronics.   Good luck!

There is a best buy magnolia about 75 miles from here, i can audition the speaker for 45 days with a 20% down payment, they have all the B&W and sonus faber and some other brands

Magnolia/Best Buy has a very liberal return policy and for the sake of a 75 mile drive, suggest you take advantage of this and buy a few a pairs knowing you can get a full refund from them.

B&W's have metal tweeters or in the case of their 800 series, synthetic diamonds.  Sonus Fabers have soft dome tweeters and both brands sound pretty dissimilar from one another.  It up to you to decide which you like better.  I think your on the track here.  Good luck!
