Help me pick a new pair of speakers

So…a few years ago, long before Verdant, I had a very similar system I chose to upgrade.  My speakers were Performa3 M105s.  I had a Rogue Hydra power amp with an Ayre preamp.  Rega table.  I actually auditioned the RP5 and really liked it.

My experience was that for a modest increase in price, I was unable to find a speaker I thought was “better.”  I could find ones that were different.  Something like MA gold is definitely different but I am not sure if it is better.  I waited for the BEs and was not in love with them when I heard them.  
 

Basically, you have a REALLY good sounding system that is well balanced tonally. Each of the speakers above is going to change the sound.  Special 40 warmer, B&W will be brighter, etc….  You may or may not like this.  
 

Given that I really loved the Revels, I struggled to find anything I liked better under avoid $6k at the time.  This was 5 years ago.  With inflation….

I ultimately bought Raidho’s which were a huge departure and a mistake for my room as I lacked the space I needed for them.  I ultimately restarted the search.  Failed and built my own speakers as they were what I ultimately liked better.  
 

I am 100% sure I can introduce you to speakers you will like better than the Revels but not on an ~$4k budget.  By all means search, but hold out till you find what you love.  

I’m sure you hear this too much on this site..

Tekton Moab is going to be my recommendation..

Just under $5,000 delivered, in any color you desire, with grilles and custom made plynths (you have to ask)..

If too much almost any TEKTON speakers in the $2,000 and above range will be an eye opener..

You can send them back if you don’t like them.. A 10% loss (return shipping)..

Expect the grilles to take awhile (my only complaint)..

Other than Tektons, I have been recommending VOLTI AUDIO..

Volti audio is more expensive, but I would consider them an upgrade/different to the Tektons..

If it's a pair of stand-mounted speakers I'd head straight to Joseph Audio used speakers and tie in the SVS-1000, passed very low. I'd consider Scansonic MB2.5 floorstanders too. Good luck-lots of quality stuff in that range, especially used!

@verdantaudio: idle curiousity, how large/what model Raidho's and how large or small was the room for the mismatch? I'm loving older D2 small floorstanders in a 17 x 20 x 10 space (and don't expect to upgrade again). Thx.

I had a pair of D2's and really enjoyed them. Great speaker. If you don't mind something a little older keep your eyes open for a pair of Verity Parsifal monitors too. 

Herbert,

Do yourself a favor and listen to a pair of Kef LS50 Metas. I auditioned with a friend who is just getting the audio bug. It was a smaller room, but these speakers are incredible! I owned a pair of B&W 802D3s, and I have to say that the LS50s in that room were more fun and engaging than the B&W's I had in my large room. In my audio journey, this was indeed a humbling experience. The Kefs will compete with anything up to $5K.
