Speaker upgrade around 100k retail

Hi guys,

I'm selling my Focal Maestro Utopia III speakers, which I love very much. Nothing wrong with them, I only have the bug again. So here are the ones I'm considering as next step

- Focal Stella Utopia EM (not the new EVO)
- Rockport Altair 2
- Magico M Project
- Tidal Agoria

My system:

CH Precision C1 + D1 / dCS Rossini
Krell EVO Two
Krell FPB 450 mcx / Lamm M1.2 / Burmester 911 monos
Tara Labs cabling

I would buy them as ex-demo or second hand, price differences are within 10-20k range.

So please share your thoughts, experiences, suggestions. Which one yould you choose?

room size, musical preferences? Do you need to spend the whole $100k on speakers if spending 1/5 of that can buy speakers that could perform better with a better synergy of equipment and or room treatment?

I'd leave a percentage of that on the table for travel, your ears will spend your money wiser than my free advice :-)

Really! Sell the house. Sell the car. Sell the kids. Find someone else.

I 2nd Borresen 5 which I have heard at a show and add Stenheim. I have only heard the Alumine 3 but was very impressed and would listen their more expensive models if I could afford them.
Or Bayz Acoustics.

Buy the Tekton Moabs, get better sound, and donate the leftover $95,500 to charity.
