What's Next

This veteran audiophile thinks you should look into the Wilson Yvette at 26k list.
I don’t know what bias you may or may not have for Wilson but the Yvette is a beautiful sounding speaker with plenty of mojo should you want it. It also their best looking speaker in my humble opinion.
I’m not even what you might call a Wilson guy but in a world of overpriced gear at least Wilson gets everything built to an incredible standard including the wood crates. As is well known the drivers are not exotic which bugs some people.. The main thing is the sound and it’s awesome. I’m spending way too much time listening these days.

ricred1, nice system and room.  You make me want to get out my vacuum cleaner!  Sounds like you have decided on a speaker change, perhaps the biggest decision with a system. 

You are right about cables, the combo's and synergy possibilities are endless.  However, I would echo Keithtexas that MIT's would be a big change.  Not only his recomendations, but the newer 2C3D line and EVO line in the Heritage series offers some serious trickle down performance for more reasonable pricing.  Good luck and it will be interesting to follow your journey for me since I own Thiels and that brand is cooked!

4425,

I’ve owned Wilson Sophia 2s, 3s, and Sasha 1s. I’ve listened to Sasha 2s. I’ve moved away from Wilson and don’t know if I’ll ever own them again. When I owned them I argued with many people about how I thought they were the best. After being exposed to different speakers, through owning several speakers after the Sasha’s and visiting RMAF a couple of years ago, I realize I don’t like the sound of Wilson speakers.

pops,
Thanks for the compliment! I haven't decided on a speaker change. I was thinking out loud and posted a question looking for suggestions on speakers to "listen" to as possible replacements. It's been a couple of weeks and I'm keeping my speakers.

leeagc,

It was very nice talking to you last night. Thanks so much for the links!
