Dynaudio Contour 60 or the forthcoming next generation Contour 60i at $11,000 (I have a set on order). With that next gen model on the way there are a number of Dynaudio dealers selling their floor models of the Contour 60 at a bargain price. Smooth sounding speakers with a particular naturalness on vocals. It's a soft dome design so not as piercing as some of the BE or AMT tweeters. Of course, it's only my opinion those tweeters are piercing. Excellent dynamic range with solid impact on bass. Pictures don't do justice to the gray oak, gloss finish that is just one of several finish options. It's stunning in person. Not a lot of Dynaudio speakers for sale on Audiogon or US Audiomart. Many are sold new, so that says a lot about people wanting to keep them, and for good reason. Best to you. I hope that you end up with a wonderful sounding speaker that lasts a very long time for you. If you have the opportunity to audition a set of Dynaudio Contour series speakers I believe you will find them to sound as I described and, I believe, fits what you had asked for. Also, they work very well with, and even prefer, high powered SS amps.
~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought
There a chance I'll be able to make a significant investment in my speakers within a few months, and jump from $4K/pr Focal 926 to something in the 10-15K range. I'm running krell gear and have no intention of changing electronics, they are perfectly suited to my ears - - but if new speakers expose weaknesses, then I'll tackle that later.
Here's the thing: aesthetics matter to me, a lot, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I love my art and home and music is a huge part of my lifetime joy. These are some of the brands /models that I personally think are beautiful, and I'd love to hear from folks who could speak to a possible pairing with Krell. I like precision, speed, clarity, and firm bottom.
Room is approx 18x20x9. New or used is ok.

JBL Synthesis (4700, 9900, etc.)
Spatial (loved the demos I heard but not sure if OB would work in my space)
Appreciate any insight, despite the aesthetic emphasis.
