Speakers upgraded

Polk speakers are part of my 2CH and HT setup since 2000, but I thought I reached the point with my other gear to start looking outside to evolve my system. I have been using LSiM 705 for one plus year and really dig the overall sound and they are real good value when purchased at Friends & Family sales. I was content with midrange but was looking for refinement at both top and bottom end.
I set the budget at under $5K . There are ton of options at this price point but I short listed to a few based on my experience of listening to various brands at audio shows / dealers. The final tossup was been Sonus Faber Sonetto V, Focal Electra 1028 BE and Goldenear Technology Triton 1. If I can sum the listening experience to one word it will be, Sonetto V = Musical, Electra 1028 = Crisp , Triton 1 = Clean. I can be happy with any of these but I chose Triton 1 due to much extendined bottom end by virtue of powered sub section and extended and clean sound signature overall. Plus I got good deal on them.
What I heard at dealer is staying true in my setup/room. Really loving the sound with sound stage extending much wider and higher then LSiM705. On good recordings sound stage depth also increases, really puts smile on my face.

Congrats!
I really like the GE sound. With my 2’s, I’m as content as I’ve been with one pair of speakers for some time. I would love to upgrade to the 1’s at some point.2 ChannelTurntable - VPI Classic 2/Ortofon 2M BlueAmplification - Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II, Parks Audio Budgie PhonoSpeakers - GoldenEar Triton 17.2 Home TheaterDenon AVR-X3300W; Rotel RMB-1066; Klipsch RP-280F's, Klipsch RP-450C, Polk FXi3's, Polk RC60i; Dual SVS PB 2000's; BenQ HT2050; Elite Screens 120"Man CaveTurntable - Pro-Ject 2.9 Wood/Grado GoldAmplification - Dared SL2000a, McCormack DNA 0.5 DeluxeCD: Cambridge AudioSpeakers - Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary; LSiM 703; SDA 2A -
