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!

Sunnyboy1956,
Why did Rockport replace the Mira 2's so fast?

Ricred, Rockport also stopped making the Rockport Aquila's.

You are right about recent changes in the Rockport line up. Not sure why but can only guess that with the new driver units being made in house, perhaps newer models were warranted....but this is pure speculation on my part. Brilliant speakers and would highly recommend an audition.
Satisfied owner disclaimer.
Cheers

Sunnyboy1956,
I listened to the Mira 2's when I decided to change from Wilson Sophia 3's. I didn't like the Mira 2's and decided to go a different direction. I didn't get an opportunity to hear the Avior's, because they weren't available when I heard the Mira 2's. I'm happy now, but if I were to look again I would seek out a Magico dealer.
