I am looking for speakers under $20k (used).
I'm starting to realize that for me, a slightly warmer sound works best with most electronic music, which is what I mostly listen to. So much music just sounds so off-putting on the really analytical and bright sounding speakers. There's this Goldilocks zone in the treble for me where it's not rolled off too much to be called veiled, and not it's not too high to be called bright. It's still very detailed, and even sparkly at moments, but never overly fatiguing. I think a little fatiguing is an ok tradeoff if we're talking "I can listen for 20-30 minutes and I'm done," just not the piercing fatigue that you're done with in 5 minutes. From other research, I'm realizing it might be best to buy the best technical speaker my budget can get and then just use DSP to get the sound I'm after. I still think there are other elements that make some speakers better than others for electronic music.
I'm attaching pictures of the room and dimensions if that helps with recommendations. The speakers will go on the sides of the fireplace area. Ceiling are timber and about 15ft high.
Thinking of powering them with Devialet expert pro.
I've really enjoyed speakers from T+A and KEF, but not so much Magico or Focal if that helps.
