Speaker recommendations please

This is my current system but I would like to upgrade my speakers and have not had much time lately to audition any. Budget upto $7k. the Gallos are great but am sure something better out there that may be an upgrade. I listen to jazz, electronic, blues and 2 ch my primary concern.Any suggestions much appreciated.

I've spent time with both the McCormick and Butler amps and think they match great with Focus Audio speakers (disclaimer, I am a Focus Audio dealer). With those amps, I'd also take a look at Salk Sound speakers and possibly SP Tech (both of which I've also heard with Butler and McCormick...each has a very different sound, but both mate well in these cases).

Everyone thanks for the suggestions. I will read up on the recommendations and will try to audition some.

I have a pair of EgglestonWorks Fontaines and love them. Deatailed, smooth, dreamy, responsive, superb bass quality, disappearing speakers. Pardon my morbidity, but if I knew I was eight minutes and 11 seconds from death, I'd insert Cannonball Adderley's CD, "Somethin' Else", punch track three, crank up the volume, lie on the couch, and go out with a big smile on my face. I see a pair of Rosas for sale right now on A'gon - only $4600. Love the Eggleston sound. And that would leave you $2400 for CDs!
