Your electronics will severely limit any decent speakers for serious two channel audio.

Hi,
I am in the process of looking to upgrade my audio system. Currently my 2.0 system consists of a Marantz AV7005 preamp driving a five channel (200wpa) Sherbourn 5/1500A with a set of Dahlquist DQ20’s for my front main speakers. The room is approximately 30’ by 25’ by 28’, but it is also open to the rest of the first floor of my open floor plan home.
I’ve owned these speakers for over 15 years and have held on to them for nostalgia as much as anything else. However, I am ready to replace them with a modern (superior) set. After much research, I am very interested in the Tyler Acoustic Decade line of speakers.
My priorities for a new set of speakers are:
1.Big sound (in a big room)
2.Accurate
3.Tight base with deep extension (I will have one or more subwoofers for HT, but I would prefer to rely on the speakers alone for audio playback (I listen to a broad range of music from classical to club).
With this in mind, I am looking at the D1, D20, and D10. The D10 may be out of my price range, but I would very much like to hear your opinion about the D20 vs. the D1. I could also possibly be swayed to upgrade my budget to the D10's. However, for the moment, they are out of my budget. If I do decide to go into the >$10K range, then a number of other options will need to be considered as well.
I am looking at others including used Revels, Von Schweikert, Salk HT3, Usher, Sonus Faber, and Theil.
Originally, I was also considering Definitive Technology (BP7000SC), Paradigm, PSB, and Klipsch, but I have eliminated those brands for the time being as best suited for bang for your buck HT options (which I may reconsider in the future!).
