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!

Consider Quad 2912’s and Magnepan 30.7, augmented by Magnepan auxiliary DWM bass panels.

I use a pair of Quad 2805’s perpendicular to a pair of Quad 2905’s, and two auxiliary DWM panels for a fast, seamless sound. But if you like to play loud, be sure and audition an all-Magnepan system.

@firstonetallguy I built a database of the following (mostly to just share with audiophiles and help my understanding)

most (90%) audiophile speaker companies in Europe and North America, with all the company info - about 90 companies

their cheapest and most expensive speakers with all the technical data

their speakers in 2-4K range

overall about 200 models

my plan is for the next step is to add the 6 to 9K models. I think that’s the next best level, where their products "peak". I may add a 20K range (16-20). Over that, I really don’t care/understand the difference.

It’s been a fun project with a lot of little "secrets" exposed.

My last step is to put it up on the web in a few searchable tables

I just called my dealer and holy cow you are right ! 38k for the Atria ii and 48k for the Avior ii! I love my Avior ii but how can Rockport increase that much in 2 years? Geez. 

@grislybutter 

I’m not sure if there are improvements made to the speakers. I’m going to my dealer on Saturday and will ask.
