~$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.

Vienna Acoustics Klimt The Music
Magico S3
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.

Why people are mentioning the Wilsons? I don't find them beautiful at all, yet I dig their looks but I wouldn't put them in my living room lol.

OP check out the Triangle Magellan line.
Wilson Sabrina

Wharfedale Elysian4 - it is no Sabrina, but it is the best $10k speaker I've personally heard. 

Either speaker plays well with Luxman, Line Magnetic.
Could not recommend the Focal Sopra 2's at $15k highly enough.
Focal generally benefits from tremendous R&D that they can afford from their business' multiple ventures. There is more R&D in the Sopra 2 than you will get in most speakers at this price point.
I think they are one of the most aesthetically pleasing speakers out there, too. Of course that's personal preference so you have to see for yourself. I'd get them in one of the two new 40th anniversary color schemes. 
The tweeters especially are about as good as you can get.

gmercer, thank you. I've always loved the Sopra look, though lately my tastes have been trending more towards clean/minimalist enclosures.
