What Is Best Speaker for $8000 - $10,000, used ?

I'm looking to upgrade my speakers to get more resolution, definition, dynamics, soundstage, etc. My budget allows up to $10,000 or so, on the used market. The speakers should be able to accomodate near wall placement, since I can't pull them out 3' from the wall. So, preference will be given to non-rear ported designs. My system is solid state gear and running 400+ watts per channel. The room is 20x22 with a very high ceiling and, presently I am using Piega P10's. Thanks.

Don't eliminate Wilson WattPuppy speakers. They do well in some difficult placements. Call Wilson for info.

I would see if you can find a pair of Fidelio Parsifal Ovations. You can reverse the lower cabinet so that they're front or rear firing depending on your distance from wall (and personal preference). They may be small in footprint, but in terms of resolution, soundstaging, and most other things, they're great. They're not going to nail symphonic stuff like a much larger (and we're talking over 2x the size) would, but they're not slouches. Plus, they look great, IMO.
