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.

I believe that the pair i of jm labs speakers i heard was the Diva? it had side firing woofers. I heard it both in a dealer demo room and at a friends house. both time i seriously disliked the speakers. it could have been the room, but i would still put my $ where my mouth is and pick the Living voices any day of the week

Don't know about a Kharma dealer in Colorado. But you should check out the Merlin VSM-MM/MX. I have them in a 22 1/2'x 19 1/2' room with 10 1/2' cathedral ceiling. They can energize and fill the room completely. To me they do all kinds of music beautifully and vocals are outstanding. They ended my speaker search. Good luck.

Cheers

Thank you Samac. I will look for them as well. Good to get out and see a few new speakers on the weekend.
