Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used

I would recommend the Gauder Akustik Berlina RC3, German made and very high quality with superb sound.

I spent the day at RMAF listening to a number of speakers suggested where I could find them.  Not all are listed in the guide so it is a bit of hit or miss.

I found the Voxativ room and was blown away.  I went back three separate times.  The music sounded so natural coming out of the 9.87 setup compared to the others I auditioned.  One thing my friend noticed was they had NO room corrections.  There wasn't a single acoustic panel or pillow shoved in a corner anywhere, yet it sounded amazing.

I did listen to the Raidho D 4.1, however, they were in a small room and it didn't do them justice.  I spoke to MB and inquired about the display of and D1.1 or D2.1 speakers and they didn't bring anything that small.  Very disappointing.

The Magico S1's sounded very clean, although a little bright for my tastes and they definitely lacked the bottom end.  I then spent 30 minutes listening to S3's in the Synergistic Room.  Again the room was not ideal for the speakers IMO.  They sounded a little muffled in the low-end and that was with all the fancy multi-thousand dollar Synergistic aids applied. 

Two of the best sounding rooms to me were the Dynaudio with a small pair of monitors.  Appropriate speaker for the space with good music that truly highlighted their capabilities.  The other is the Elac room with Andrew Jones.  Those guys are doing amazing stuff for pennies on the dollar.  They have a new integrated amp for $700 (if memory serves) that offers DSP, Blutooth, phono, and they powered their new floor standers with amazing authority.  Granted this was a $2,250 system plus the source so it was just amazing at the quality for the price.  They are rumored to be coming out with some higher quality and priced speakers at CES.

So where does this leave me with a decision?  I am strongly considering buying the 9.87 system from Voxativ.  The problem is my Constellation Amp/preamp are not well suited so i will need to change to a tube.  I realize these are way over my original budget but the sound is emotional, natural and it sounds like I am listening to the original instruments.  I am going back today to listen to others and see if I can find anything else that moves me more than the Voxativ setup.

I neglected to mention the others so here are my impressions:

-Focal Sopra 2 - I did an extensive session when they first came out and didn't care for them.  Too bright and unnatural for my tastes
-Harbeth - I did listen to these yesterday and found them to muddy and full at the bottom end for my liking.  Again, I realize the room acoustics are terrible at RMAF so first impression
-Wilson Sophia 2 - hard to find fault other than I find them ugly and a little to warm in the lower range for my tastes.
-Gamut monitors (not sure of the model) - they had some terrible German music playing yesterday that made me want to attack someone.  It definitely didn't highlight the speakers but for what they cost it was a non-starter.
-Tidal (model unknown) - Very nice speakers with a great soundstage.  Still not as natural and authoritative as the Voxativ room.
-Salk - very nice value speaker.  They were playing their $2,800 per pair IMS and they had a nice sound to them.  I did find the ribbon to be a bit unnatural.  

Again, these are MY impressions and I am not intending to offend anyone that owns any of these speakers.  I also know the environments were not ideal.  

You might want to look into Classic Audio Loudspeakers smaller range which are field coil powered.

I checked out the classic audios, very nice but I didn't have the emotional connection as with the Voxativ.

I pulled the trigger and bought the Voxativ 9.87 system along with the Voxativ 211 integrated amp. Can't wait to hear it in my room. The owner is a great guy, former Mercedes engineer.
