Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range


I’ve heard Proacs, Personas 3 and 5, Ryans, Wilsons, Wilson Benesch, Monitor Audios, B and Ws and several others in the 10-$20,000 range.  My favorite so far is the KEF Reference 3.  I would consider the Reference 5 but, as I’ve posted before, there is no place to hear them within 400 miles. Still plan to hear the Focal 2 and 3. Unless I love the Focals, I'm inclined to either go with the KEF Reference 3 or wait a couple of months (or more) to check out the new Magico A3.  My room is 24x18.  I have Audio Research electronics and 20 plus year old Proac Response 3.5 speakers.  It’s been a long process and I’m not sure if I’ll be relieved or disappointed when it ends.  Hard to decide if the Magico’s are worth waiting for.  Thoughts?

I've seen and auditioned two different nice condition used Stradivari for sale lately, and both were asking $30K or more.  BTW, both sounded awesome!
Indeed, Klipsch Jubilees...You’ll never go back, and your wife will never go back either…to your house. Note that speakers at this level (price) aren’t music specific, and neither are any other speakers for that matter…anybody who thinks speakers that can replicate orchestras are somehow not as adept at Death Metal needs to get out more. Sound dynamics aren’t style specific (there’s simply the ability to provide more or less of that sound). Also, if anybody is willing to spend 10 to 20 grand on speakers, that person should be willing to travel to hear them, which can be used as leverage for purchase, "Hey man…I came all the way from Cleveland to hear these damn things…1200 bucks off or I walk!" So to sum up, the Jubilees are great if you seek more alone time, but based on the specs you’re still gonna need subs and a decent divorce attorney.
You didn mention which amp you plan om using. This is very important when choosing a speaker.
DeVore Fidelity O/96 are often mentioned in this Price range but I think it works best with tubes.
Forgot to say that all Focals I've heard have sounded great! You should go and listen to them. The Vivid Giya was also impressive when I heard them at a show, they also look great, probably a high waf.
