I have had ProAc for the last 10 years and current pair for the last 5 years. Prior to that, I had DIY wide band driver Mitsubishi Diatone monitors.

I have a positive bias to warmer side of neutral. I listen to more vocals than percussions. I like soundstage and bass as much as the next guy but mid range / nice vocals is the 1st priority.

My room is medium / small measuring at (L x W x H) 25ft x 16ft x 10ft.

Budget is for now arbitarily set at USD80,000 - USD100,000.

Help me narrow the field of potential candidates. I loathe to change amps so candiadates have to match well with the Naim or Accuphase.

Much appreciated in advance for your advice.

PS : I may post similar requests in other forums so if u come across, please forgive me

B&W 800 D3 might be somewhat below your budget but are a perfect match with your Accuphase C-3850 / A-250 amplification. Suggested speaker cables are two pairs of Audioquest WEL Signature for biwiring.
Suggested XLR interconnects are also Audioquest WEL Signature (from Vivaldi DAC to C-3850 and from C-3850 to A-250).
This combination works very well for me and especially vocals sound extremely natural. Accuphase have the B&W 800 D3 in their showroom and also regularily demonstrate their reference system with them.
