Where would you go after Wilson WP7?

I have the Wilson WP7's paired with Krell 300MCX monos, Krell Home Theater Standard 7.1, Velodyne 18 with SMS-1. I am sure the good folks here would have some opinions on an upgrade, what would you do or just be happy?

My room is small 9' wide, 8.5' ceiling, 16' long. Room may have a tad more sound treatment than needed but at high SPL works very well.

Likes: I prefer concert level volumes appropriate to the music. To that end the system has very fast, tight bass. Actually its really good. No distorsion at 103Dbs. Good to very good imaging.

Cons: Highs are bright or hot. very directional so very small sweet spot.

Can anther speaker sound better given the smallish room?

Thanks!

Don't worry about audiooracle he is a New Jersey audio dealer who is condescending to everyone. His lack of respect for others is remarkable.

Mreapoe100,

Well, he did ask the question, "Hey guys what do I know".

From what I can tell:

1. He can't read.
2. He is weak in the social skills dept.

I'm sure much more but 1 minute is all I'm giving it.

I beg to disagree about comments made at audiooracle. I have almost the exact setup he recommends, in a room approx. the size of Hughp's and with WP7s and guess what, the system exhibits almost to a T the characteristics described in his post. Nagra pre (tube) MX-R amps (SS) much attention given to room setup and treatment. Top end digital front end Puccini/UClock.

Sorry guys, Raidho needs medium to big rooms to get a proper scale and midbass control

You may want to consider the new Rockport Atria. It has the same scanspeak tweeter as the Avior with some of the smoothest, almost crystalline highs I have heard in a box speaker, almost like a ESL. The smaller footprint of the Atria should work well in the OPs space.
All the best
