Speaker upgrade

I am planning on upgrading my speakers. I have the following equipment:

B & W 802N speakers
Jeff Rowland M301 amps
Jeff Rowland Synergi IIi preamp
Wadia 270 SE tansport
Harmonix 777 DAC
Audio Magic Power conditioners

I listen to mostly female and male voaclists and older jazz. I am currently happy with the sound that I am getting but I have extra funds at this time and want to upgrade my speakers. My budget is around $10,000. I will sell the speakers after I sell the new ones and use that money to buy the Jeff Rowland 302 amp. What is out there that is a must audition speaker for a 15' x 30' listening sapce? Thanks again for any suggestions.

Whats wrong with the N802's , How long do you have them. I have matrix 802's and just upgraded to them from Polk.. I wouldnt upgrade any more. I think you just have to much extra cash to burn. keep the B&W's and donate the 10G's to charity. You'll never be happy.

You are right about having too much cash Poloman. I just donated 10K to charity and my kids are too spoiled to get more stuff so I am spending it on myself.

The N802s are great speakers. I really love them. I think they lack a little clarity and a little bass.

Just to let you know, I earned my money by working very hard and came from absolutely nothing. I am very lucky right now and know it.

What about just adding a Velodyne DD 15 or 18 sub to my current system? Is that advisable as a first step?

Dear Bryan: Yes, that will be a very good first step. A pair of DD-15 will do wonders on your system in a true stereo way.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Rauliruegas:

Are a pair of the Velodye DD18 a good fit for a 15' x 30' room or is the DD15 a better choice?
