Speaker choice for BAT VK3xi/VK250

I'm at the end of my charter and am looking for a match for the gear listed above. I love vinyl of all sorts, you name it... I have about $5k and a large, open but broken up area w/10' ceilings. I've been researching 3.6 Maggies, Dynaudio 5.4, Sophia II, Watt puppy 5.1 I don't have any easy way to audition speakers in my home so I need to be careful when I make a decision. Any help would be great

I am using a pair of Wilson Sophia 2 with an all BAT system with excellent results (see my system). You should be able to find a nice second hand pair of Wilson Sophia Series 1 near $5000.00.

I have the same equipment as you, and just purchased Montana EPS 2 speakers used for 5k. They sound very good and the amp is not broken in yet.

Don't know about the other speakers but VK-250 and Maggie 3.6 are not good match.

I used a BAT VK-300SE with Rega Apollo and Thiel 1.6 speakers (HT magic IC and Pro-9 cable).
This combination yielded the finest sound I've had in my home.
Felt I was hearing 100% of the musical intent on everything but the most poorly recorded disks.
Super low noise floor also.
Synergy? Don't know or care.
Sadly, I sold the BAT and Rega thinking I would soon be unemployed.
I'd try some Thiel CS6 speakers in your system.
