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?

When you buy these 100k speakers can I come over and hear them....I will bring a bottle of wine .
The all new $38K Acora Acoustics SRC-2’s might be the best speakers on planet earth in 2020!

No, the Acoras are not the equivalent of the Von Schweikert Ultra series.  However, they are very good for the price but not the best speakers on the planet.  Give me a break.  Every high end manufacturer thinks their speakers are the greatest.  I've heard many high end ($75K to $300K) speakers and wouldn't own many of them.  I find there are more speakers in the $25K to $75K range that appeal to me.   So many high end speakers have such different sounds that they appeal to different listeners for different types of music.  I prefer Soundlabs Majestic 845s to Acoras sonically (the Acoras are very physically appealing) at a similar price.  The Lumenwhites also appeal more at comparable price and do look attractive. 
If you're limiting yourself to around 100k you're looking at products that nobody has heard, nobody has really gotten to know, and that you can't get any meaningful information about.  The tiny group of people that really know these products, who knows if their opinions are worth anything.  I have a hard time understanding why people are even interested in this stuff.  Are the designers any good?  Did they spend decades honing their skills designing products at competitive price points before deciding to start their own companies and build performance oriented, cost no object products?  I doubt it.  Vivid maybe.  TAD?  There are some very expensive speakers designed by designers that aren't a joke.  For the most part, though, you know...
