Picking Speakers 20k-30k


Recently built a HiFi System with much help from this site, now I’m looking at upgrades.  Strongly considering an all-Aavik system but looking at speaker options before I pull the trigger on anything, hence the following question: If you were buying new speakers in the 20-30k range (used or new), what’s on your shortlist?  Bonus points if you have suggestions based on synergy with Aaviks electronics.

If it helps the conversation: 21’X 19’ treated listening room with cathedral ceiling. Listen to a wide variety of music.

thanks for your expertise!

@larryi thanks for all those suggestions!  There’s a number on your list I’ve not heard (or even heard of) so my rabbit hole just got deeper!

@brewerslaw 

I read a lot of reviews and heard a few of them. But overall, I know nothing about 20K+ speakers. I know about 1-4K speakers, and that's what I have a database for. I just collected some info on all audiophile brands.

I am interested in the following speaker brands, maybe Mt. Rushmore level :)

  • Dynaudio
  • Qln
  • Harbeth
  • Revel
  • Acora Acoustics
  • Marten
  • Sonus Faber
  • Totem

but they may not "peak" at 30K, more like 10K.

Hmm you have Paradigm Persona 3F with matching subs now? You are already there speaker wise. You are chasing a ghost. Do you use the anthem for bass management/crossover? If so you might get better sound with higher end separates. Keep in mind you would need some bass management somewhere still. 
 

I find the persona pretty bright but maybe you don’t. 
 

for me I would look at horns or panels for something different.
