Thinking to upgrade speakers

Sopra 2 or Sopra 3 ; that depends on your room size.

the ´´ HOUSE SOUND ´´ of your amplifier will be important regarding the  ´´ HOUSE SOUND ´´ of those speakers.

I think if you want help you might rephrase your aesthetic requirements description to less charged and offensive terms.

At 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. 

fagly?
