Yes, I meant mostly the turntable.
You need to listen to speakers in your room or at the very least in a well set-up dealer's room. $15k is enough to get excellent speakers even new let alone used. Some high end speaker manufacturers now have the cabinets and perhaps some other parts made in China. Do you want it? Ask them, anyway. What if the speakers that you like most don't work well with the amps that you already have? Cables matter too, big time. You can get lucky with this speakers last approach, but it's very tricky. I would never do it. Well..since I want Lamm amps I actually might, but it would be a pain. As I understand it, you don't care whether it is Constellation or something else.
As a very general direction - if the speakers look pretty they are either very expensive or not good enough. Most great speakers are quite ugly.
I'll add two names to your list without knowing your amps and taste: Kharma and Dynaudio.
