New Speakers $10K -$20K


Hi everyone. A few bullet points and thank you all for your advice! Sorry for the length just trying to help you to help me.

* A Florida family room untreated and large. 30’ x 30’ with 12’ cathedral ceiling.
* I sit basically on left half of the room, the right side of the room is billiards and wet bar.
* I just turned 65, so these are my forever speakers!
* I am 70% HT and watching TV, and 30% 2Ch, but with a little room improvement 2ch listening will go up. I want better sounding 2 ch but I’m in a very live room.
* The front wall “half width” of my room is a stacked-stone marble wall.
* to my rear is a 16’ opening to a large kitchen.
* to my immediate left is a window 40” and 12’ of sliders looking into pool.
* just sold Paradigm Persona 7F towers, (2) Persona subs and Persona center ch. Amazing speakers in a poor large room. But I do think the Be. mid-range became a bit fatiguing.
* I need a company that also makes a great center ch for HT., Legacy Audio does.

Based on WAF etc. some treatments will be done but not greatly. More pillows, a defuser or two, maybe a bit more.

My needs: warmth, no harshness at the top, not massive speakers, WAF!
I still love movies with the grandkids, big subwoofers won’t be approved. “Eye Candy” is what she likes beautiful cabinetry, Sonus Fabre, and custom finishes available from Bill D. at Legacy.

Current candidates are:
1. Sonus Fabre Amati Tradition in the red stained finish - “gorgeous”, her favorite!
2. Legacy Calibres in a custom veneer with 2+ subs that are not too big. I really love the Aeris with Wavelet processor but they are too tall for her! Remember this is a family room.m we use for everything.
3. Sonus Fabre Serafino Tradition in the same beautiful red stain wood veneer.
4. Spendor, not terribly familiar but they do make a center ch, and are respected and are considered warm. Really wish Harbeth made a center ch.

Now I am looking forward to your suggestions!

Forgot to mention, Matthew is a Perlisten dealer, but they are not cheap. He will have a demo pair very soon.
You have both the budget and the room for corner horns.  If you remember going to the movies when you were a kid and the way movies sounded,  the whole theater was filled,  that's what they do not just a wall of sound but the whole room just sounds great.
Tiny drivers moving very fast with the horn facilitating the diaphragm air interaction provide a completely different sound than conventional speakers. The other advantage is though they look big they don't take up actual living space except for the plant that keeps dropping leaves in corner.

I have a big room and a 2 watt SET amp easily pushes the sound level to over 90db with amazing bass.  I will need a sub for that bottom octave but  they are going to be with me until they cart me of to the old folks home... (hopefully not soon)
@soix is right. There are no better speakers than Joseph Audio Perspective2s at any price, in my opinion. These will be your last speakers. 
As far as “last set of speakers” and the like.  That is a comment on your age, not on the speakers.
