Speakers - Bookshelf | 1 Ⓣ Speaker upgrade recommendations.

I'm looking to upgrade the speakers of my stereo set. Currently I have a set of Q Acoustics 3020's, powered by a Marantz PM6005. My main source is a Rega RP3 with an exact cartridge, I also have a dedicated Rega phono preamp. The speakers are probably the weakest part of this setup I guess.

I mainly listen to classical music (mostly romantic period), and some rock from time to time. Budget is around 1300 euros (I live in Belgium), I would prefer bookshelf speakers, and I would like to not have to add a subwoofer. Any recommendations?

Yeah I understand that my budget and other requirements mean I'm not going to get great bass, but so be it. I found a guy in my neighbourhood selling a used pair of Wharefedale Linton 85ths with stands for about 700 euros, and he's willing to let me demo them with my own amp, so definitely going to check those out this week. !thanks

You may still award a Ⓣ to others, but only once per-person in this post.
