Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........


Hello all,
I just sold a pair of AndraII's. Everthing is packed and ready for my helper to pick-up for shipping on Tuesday 12/27/2006. I have a budget of $20K-30K. Can you please give me some recommendations based on experience? It took me a long time and a lot of money to find the Andra's but my curiosity got the best of me so here i am looking for new stuffs. I would like to keep my electronics (conrad/johnson top-of-the-line). For the last 5 years, I have not kept anything for more than a year. This time, i would like to buy a pair of speakers that I can keep for a long time. If needed I will expand my budget but prefer not. No WILSON please, I have tried and they are not for me.
Thanks for your time,
Gina

Thank you all for your inputs. Warrenh and Pmotz, I have tried many things related to speakers and electronics but have not thought about working on the room (professionally done). Are you suggesting that I should partition the room to make it smaller because it's too big???? Do you know any dealers that I can go to experience a well designed room? Lastly, would you build a dream system around the speakers or the other way around? Can you also give me a list of electronics, mainly amps and preamps, that you would recommend for the following speakers:

1) DALI, Megaline
2) MBL 101
3) Eidolons
4) Savoy
5) Usher Be20- This one is new to me but was recommended by a friend. Any comments?

Thanks again for your time.
Gina, there is a company called Rives that does this sort of thing. Call them and explain your situation before you even think to start listening to speakers. AlbertPorter owns the Dalis and I believe he has tube mono blocks. You may want to e mail him.
Ginas, I hope your new crib works out for you, (38x45x10)... If your looking to sell new crib down the road with less then 50-70hours use,let me know. 8^)...
Ginas- It's not so much the size but how you proportion it (I could have said something else but ...). The object of the room is to not contribute or remove anything so you need either LOTS of time or professional help to identify what can be done to optimize the room. To do it right it can be a very expensive endeavor but if the absolute best performance is the goal it's a must. Check out member Mike Lavigne's effort to do just this: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue16/lavigneroom.htm. There are other Audiogon members who have done this too, check out the member systems or search for Rives. Robert Harley of the Absolute Sound also did a similar effort with his system, but I don't recall the issue (it was a couple of years ago). I wish I had the space and the money to do this but alas, I don't and probably never will!
You should strongly consider the Evolution Acoustics MM2 or MM3. Simply incredible.
