Hello - Looking for some speakers to pair with the A-S801. Currently coming from the ELAC DF63s and not having good luck with them (resonance). They sound great, but looking to upgrade, possible end game type speaker (although, who are we (me) kidding). I already have two subs so bass isn't an issue (2x BIC F12s but plan on upgrading them. I can figure that out later).

Taking the time to follow guidelines since i got yelled at last time :(

Budget and location - US. I don't really have a way to audition unfortunately. Budget is less than $3,000

How the gear will be used - WiiM Ultra and a U-Turn Orbit turntable I upgraded.

New or used - New

Past gear experience - I've paired my father's loaned OG JBL L112's with an HK3490. I really liked that for a while before pets tried to jump on them. Also wanted something new and something of my own. Also had a pair of Cambridge S70s with the same receiver but didn't have much excitement or detail/analytics to it. Small soundstage. Already mentioned the ELACs and subs.

Anything else? Looking for something I can listen to loudly with clarity (mostly rock: alt rock, punk, classic rock, indie and acoustic). Room is 18x15 with vaulted ceilings and open room floor plan. One speaker would be close to a wall and the other open. Wanting something detailed and analytical yet not overly fatiguing. I usually like a V shaped listening without having to change EQ but open to options.

I know my flair says full size but open to bookshelfs too but preference is floor.
