Narrowed it down to 3 speakers
Paradigm Persona 3F (love the Persona 5F not heard the smaller 3F)
Vivid Kaya 45 (a floor stander that will fit a small room)
Yamaha NS5000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeUW-hBtc8Q
I will be going to a dealer DSP preamp shootout once I get funds together. I will use the new preamp and amp with the KEF LS50's for the short term. I will wait until the Yamaha hits the USA before I buy speakers because I want to audition the NS5000.

Depending on the DSP preamp I select I am looking at the following amps:
Anthem STR
Krell XD 175
Jeff Rowland M535
Coda #8
T+A HV 3000 (available demo unit for $10K)
