Recommendations for upgrade

Hi fellow audiophiles,
I’m working on my bucket list speaker selection and having a difficult time.Currently I have the Aerial 10T’s (first version). I’m thinking of a selection between Absolute Sound considered great values Wilson Yvettes or Magico S3 Mk ll’s or maybe something else in that price range. I live in South Florida and one of the greatest problems is trying to hear more than one of any possible choice at the same time because most dealers do not carry enough brands.I mostly listen to Jazz and some classical. Any thoughts from you folks out there in the audiophile world would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Bob

Here’s a nice pair of Nola Baby Grand References that will be tough to beat for $25k -- original MSRP of $72k. Bucket list speakers indeed.

You already have great speakers.  Finding better ones will cost considerable money.  I think you should audition the Maggies.  Something quite different from what you have.  I would also look into Quad ESLs and Avantegarde horns (same theme, something different).  Someone else mentioned Harbeths - they are quite astonishing if a bit "pipe and slippers."
