Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K


I am looking to upgrade my speakers. In particular, I am looking for better low-end extension than my current speakers, Sehring 703s, which the specs say go to 38Hz but seem to roll off above that. I primarily listen to rock. I have to say, I prefer a bit of warmth over ultimate transparency.

Ancillary equipment is a Pass Labs X150.5 power amp, Mystere ca21 preamp, Perfect Wave Mk2 DAC & Transport. Room size is 13x25. Speakers are facing out from the long wall. The speakers will be in my living room, so they cannot be too enormous or push the envelope aesthetically. I would prefer to buy new. While open to buying used, I am wary of shipping damage.

The speakers I plan to audition are:
Marten Django
DALI Epicon 8
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
Aerial 7T
Tannoy Kensington

I have also read good things about Vapor Audio Joule Black, but would have a real hard time auditioning them before hand.

I would appreciate any other recommendations of speakers to audition, as well as any thoughts about the speakers on my current list. Thanks.

Check out the new Nola KO's. I believe they're listing around 10K

One you've listened to guitar solos and lead vocals on open baffles it's tough to listen to conventional boxes again. You can see them in action on YouTube -just search for Nola ko.

Disclaimer: I've owned Alon's and Nola's in the past, and they're great - with great customer service. Currently enjoying Quad 989's. I'd recommend the quads because they're just so good, but its true you can't blast them. For me they're fine. For you possibly not. Good luck.
Dont really know the speakers on your list but in that price range I really like the Rockport Mira 2 - its list price is very slightly above $15k but I am pretty sure you can pick it up for $15k or less.

For me it easily bests other well known speakers in that price range such as Magico and certainly B&W.

Thanks

dc10audio Berlin R but perhaps you don't need high efficiency and it seems like it would be a 4 month wait for a pair.
Another recommendation here for the Daedalus Ulysses. I stumbled upon a pair for sale locally, and picked them up last Saturday.

The Ulysses are running in place of my Sanders 10Cs which are also a good choice within your price range.

The Daedalus are wonderful. . .I would highly encourage a listen, if not to the Ulysses then to the Argos, which offers similar performance.
