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!

Rockports. Either Atrias (new) or Aviors (used)

i am not sure where you are located? The dealer was right on with the YG summit they are not shipping yet. I do know a dealer local to me that has a pair of Rockport Atria II on consignment right now. These would be awesome speakers in the price range that you are looking. 
I used to own a pair of Atria II and they are incredible speakers. You might want to look at the Magico A5 as well. I did have a pair of Rockport Cygnus for a brief while and they are incredible speakers. I am not sure you can find them used at the price point you are looking at. It is rare to see Rockports show up on the used market.

With Rockports, be prepared to have a 400 watt amp for good effect.
