Speaker Recommendation: 20K range


I’m looking for new speakers in the <20K range. 

I am not looking for used, unless it’s a demo model straight from an AD.

I am hoping to find a line that clearly beats speakers in the ~10K range like Magico A3, Revel 228BE, Legacy Focus SE etc.

I will be pairing the speakers with a Lumin D2 streamer, Mcintosh C2600 pre and MC452 amp. Changing those components is not going to happen anytime soon and so system synergy with those pieces is important. 

I also would like the speakers to be rated at 500W given the amp I will be using and the fact that the listening space is quite large. 

While I mostly listen to jazz, rock, pop, classical and vocals, I am really looking for speakers that sound amazing with any genre. I also need them to sound great at moderate levels of volume. 

I currently have Focal Kanta No 2s, and while they are quite nice, I want something much better in all respects. 

I am not really up to speed on all the audiophile terms that describe the various traits of sound – I just want my jaw to drop when listening to the speakers with any genre at all volume levels, if that’s possible :) 

I am close to NYC and would like to narrow down the list to ~5 candidates before I start auditioning.

Hopefully you guys can help me compile a list!

Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions.

+1 soix! The new Carver ALS is a serious contender at $13K! A floor-to-ceiling ribbon array is indeed "amazing"! 
Speaker choices are first dependable on electronics 
if you like lowpowerSET Tube amps , for their strong points ,Tube or SS preamp. 
it will be totally different then a 200 WPC. SS amplifier .
having run a audio store for a number of years  these are just 
one if the things needed to know as well as room size , what is 
the Bass outputlowesr octave needed?  If you want to get it 
right everything including cable type needs to be factored in .
you should be able to get a very good $25k speaker for $20k 
or less for sure. 
Go an extra 9 grand. JBL DD 6700. You never get your tongue back in your mouth! And you may never leave your listening room! Cheers. 
Last month I wrote a review of 15 different high-end speakers, most in this price bracket. Here's the link (toward the bottom of the comments I state the price of each):

(my favourite was the Boenicke W13, which is around $20k)
