Speakers to consider in the $2200 range


I am finally ready to upgrade my speakers from Polk Audio LS90, CS350 & LS/FX to something much better. So far I am considering Dunlavy SC-IV, Cantata and Aerial 10T. I have eliminated the SC-IV simply because of size. I plan on auditioning the 10T in the next few days. I am still trying to locate the Cantatas locally.

Over the last year I have upgraded the front end to Aragon Soundstage, Bryston 4BST, Aragon 8008x3 and an Anthem CD1. I also have 2 Energy AS180 subs. Under my current usage I am 70/30 HT to music but that is primarily because of lack of time because of grad school. Once I am back to normal, it will be 50/50. I listen to all types of music but more so Jazz, Soul, R&B and Reggae. My room is 23x12 and the speakers will be set up on the short wall.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You could buy a new pair of Vonschweikert VR-2's for that price. I love mine and chose them over speakers that cost much more. As always, only seriously consider speakers that you can audition yourself.
Here's another vote for Sonus Faber. You could also take a look at Monitor Audio GR-60's.
At the $2200-2400 price point for USED speakers, you may be able to find a pair of Vandersteen 3A Signatures, which is a terrific speaker at its retail cost, and almost unbeatable at the used price. I am using a Bryston 4B-ST amp to drive my 3A Sig's (and a Bryston 5B-ST for the center channel and surrounds), and am very pleased with the combination.

Your room width is a bit narrow, but the length is more than sufficient for you to place the 3A Sig's at least 2.5 feet away from the rear wall.
Take a look at VMPS and Source Technology (www.sourcetechspeakers.com)
I would also try to find a used pair of Aerial Acoustics 7b, I've seen them priced in your range.
