Standmount speakers 4k-8k

Don’t take this the wrong way but I don’t think setting a $4K to $8K price range is  realistic. It’s like saying I’m looking to buy a four-door car, something between a Toyota Carrolla and a BMW 3-series. And then go and test drive full optioned BMW M3. As someone mentioned earlier, first make sure you’re taking most advantage of what you have by feeding them the best you can. You may be pleasantly surprised.

I am a dealer for Wilson Benesch loudspeaker. Carbon Fiber cabinets crazy components and design. I am ordering a pair of the Vertex monitors or my shop. I can have them sent to you for an audition, 

Kalili thanks for advice. I have taken the comments about electronics to heart and just yesterday bought on Audiogon a Sony integrated amp (regular price 2k, got it for 1/2 that). So in a week I'll see how the GX-50s sound with a real amp, rather than the $300 Yamaha I've been using. 

Ain't music grand?

Soundsreal: thanks for the offer, but I'm afraid your speakers, even though recommended by several on this list, wouldn't pass the WAF...

I work for a dealer, NJ based Audio Doctor, and you have to hear the Paradigm Persona B and 3F floor standing speakers before you decide on any other speakers and we have no skin in the game it sounds like you are in a different state! We just showcased these speakers at the recent New York Audio Show.

The new Persona use the most advanced drivers currently on the market and utilize a pure 7 inch Beryllium midrange driver mated to a 1 inch pure Beryllium tweeter. 

Beryillium is the most perfect material for making a loudspeaker driver cone out of it is significantly lighter and is much greater in rigidity than aluminium, or titanium or woven carbon fiber or graphene derivatives. 

Never before have drivers of this quality been seen in anything below $25k speakers! 

The Persona series throws a huge sound stage and are very transparent, with remarkable midrange clarity without any hint of brightness or artficiality to the sound, they sound more like what you would find in much more expensive speakers then what you get for the price with the Persona.
