mtrotAt that price range, I would also hear the Dali Epicon 8. Sopra No 3 sounded great at RMAF, driven by the newly reborn Classe mono amps. Legacy Audio Aeris should also be considered. If you can get to $29k, run, don't walk, to hear the Vimberg Mino, which was also fabulous at RMAF.
I would second taking a look at Legacy Audio, though I would look at the Whisper as well. I auditioned the Whisper & Aeris a month ago, the Whisper will be arriving this Saturday.
