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.

It is a wierd room. 16x14 with one side opening into a amuch larger room and a strange ceiling that limits listening position to a very small area for bass reproduction. As with any speaker I recomend auditioning it at home. If your dealer won't let you... find another dealer.

Good luck!

Thorman, I have been in love with Kharma ceramique for some time. Price is a limiting issue as well as size of the room. I have to, or get divorced, keep the speakers on the shorter 15' dimension location in the room. Does this limit the speakers that will function in such a space from your experience?

Look up the one-issue-old #38 of England's 'hi-fi+' magazine and read the double review of the Eminent Technology LFT-8. It's available online at http://www.hifiplus.com/issue38.html . Then spend a few of those $10K to listen to a pair. I did and then ordered a pair in walnut, to replace a pair of much-loved Quad 989s. Seems their only foible is lack of sensitivity.
