bump, Any progress? What I have been doing is checking resale prices here and buying speakers I can spend some time with without worrying about losing my shorts reselling them. I bought the salon 2 used for $11k and resold them for same, all I was out was the gasoline and time picking them up. I can say the same for several other pair and it really helps to have them home where time isn't against you when deciding. The way I see it If I want the speaker new I can still resell the used model I decide on and order thew new model in the finish I like.
~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought
There a chance I'll be able to make a significant investment in my speakers within a few months, and jump from $4K/pr Focal 926 to something in the 10-15K range. I'm running krell gear and have no intention of changing electronics, they are perfectly suited to my ears - - but if new speakers expose weaknesses, then I'll tackle that later.
Here's the thing: aesthetics matter to me, a lot, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I love my art and home and music is a huge part of my lifetime joy. These are some of the brands /models that I personally think are beautiful, and I'd love to hear from folks who could speak to a possible pairing with Krell. I like precision, speed, clarity, and firm bottom.
Room is approx 18x20x9. New or used is ok.

JBL Synthesis (4700, 9900, etc.)
Spatial (loved the demos I heard but not sure if OB would work in my space)
Appreciate any insight, despite the aesthetic emphasis.
