guys........

I need to get a good bookshelf for my Primare i30 amp. I'm looking at around 5k ....
Anyone with suggestion ?
I tried them with the Wharfy Diamond 9.1 ( yes...yes...i know i've committed a sin there , and though they sounded very clean, detailed and very very airy.....the combo sounded too warm to my taste....

I've never really enjoyed the wharfy as much as I used to enjoy my previous speakers, a mission floor stander because of these excessive warmth.They just have this character as if the HF has been slightly rolled off.
But hey, maybe I'm just too used to the sound of the missions.
That being said,they do leave the mission to smokes on other qualities ( though i'm talkin bout year 2000 budget mission here )

So given the nature of primare being very clean and i guess a bit warm and relaxed , mixing them up with those small wharfs, I guess just made things worse....It's definitely listenable but just not to my taste......

I do have a few models in mind , so pls comment on these and do suggest others as well pls...........

Elac BS244
PMC DB1i or possibly PMC TB2i ( stretching it there )
Dynaudio Focus 110
PSB Synchrony Two B or A
Paradigm Studio 20 v5
VAF Research Signature i91
Mark & Daniel Maximus Topaz ( have ordered this for a 31 day trial )

I realize that many ppl do find Primare to go well with SF, but i think they're proly way out of my budget here.....

So , guys...assist me pls in this great hunt......
