Need Help finding Speakers Budget 20,000 US

Hi All

Firstly let me give my room Specification:

8 Meters by 8 Meters. Height of the room is 3.2 Meters.

Acoustic Panels everywhere around the room. Its pretty dead.

Amplifiers:

Clayton M300 Mono Blocks
Bob Carver Black Beauty

Pre-Amp
Purity Audio Ultra 2 Series
DAC (Need to get one)
CD Player Oppo 95 Modified.

Budget 20,000 US.

I don’t live in USA so difficult to try out some of the US brands.

I am interested in:

Salk Sound Scape 12
Tannoy Kingdom Royal
B&W 800 or 802 N
Evolution Acoustics not sure which model as the company never responds to emails nor does there dealers.
Daedalus Audio
YBL
Ushers

Any other recommendation to go by?

I listen to Allot of Movie Sound Tracks, Classical Epic Music, Sometimes Pop Rock And hip hop. Down tempo, Chill out and Jazz.

I like my Soundscape 10s. I wouldn’t want to trade them in for any of the other speakers you mentioned. The Soundscapes are the most neutral speakers in your list. If you got the Soundscapes then you might need a warmer 6SN7 tubes. Your Sophia 6SN7 tubes might be the cats meow with the Daedalus or Tannoy speakers, but they may be too neutral for the Soundscapes.

A speaker is a personal matter. Another person never can choose for you. Because they dod not know your preference. Take your time and listen to many speakers. At the end you will find one what fits best to you. It is that simple!!

While the Tannoy Kingdom Royal lists for $55,000, the Canterbury SE's list right around $21,000 and will probably thrill you!

If you can stretch your budget and can live with the ultra modern sleek styling...KEF Blade....I have LS50's a very small monitor based on same technology and it is disturbingly good.(Your electronics are VASTLY better than I will EVER afford unless I hit the lottery) Another choice...Vandersteen 5A Carbon(About 25k brand new), Legacy Alexia, or the Wilson Sophia. All which are VERY mesmerizing choices at that price point. Sasha's or Watt Puppy 8's would be fantastic choices used...if you are lucky enough to find them. Vivid Audio B1's are also really cool too. All of these designs I could easily live with the rest of my useful listening life.
