I've always been a firm believe of the Linn philosophy, where "Source Comes First". It makes perfect sense since you can only output what you input (i.e. garbage in = garbage out). If you have cheap sources, your speakers will not make it better.So now that I'm satisfied with my sources and amplification (best I could buy for my budget - at least to my ears), I'm looking for the best possible floorstanding speakers within my budget that will work great in my 12ft x 14ft room. Budget: $5,000 - $7,000 US.
Amplification = McIntosh MAC6700 integrated
Sources = Rega RP10 turntable, Aurender N100H streamer, Bryston BCD-1 CD player (rarely use my CD player)
Cabling = Crystal Cable Micro Diamond Series
Speakers = Still researching but ProAc Response D30R are at the top of my list for now

Going up to $7000 opens up a lot of possibilities! I'm now doing a home audition on the Legacy Audio Signature SE, which gets you into the Dual Air Motion ribbon tweeter and mid range drivers, and bass extension down to 22Hz. I recently auditioned the Dynaudio Contour 3.4 at around the same price, and, while it is a very fine speaker, it's not a fair fight. With these Signatures, the highs are so clear and articulated, but without being harsh or "etched". Another great feature is that they do not resort to a mid-bass boost in order to give the impression of greater bass response, and there is even a 2dB bass attenuation switch, to be used in the event of too much room-induced bass boost. Electric bass lines are really nice to follow on these. Vocals are just incredible, in that there is not a hint of nasality or enclosure resonance on either male or female voices. BTW, I've also heard good things about the Ryan Audio speakers, but have not had a chance to hear them.
