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!

Synergy...synergy....synergy.is more important than any individual piece. Aavik and Borresen have it in spades. The Borresen X-3's @ 11K compare to many $20- 30 K speakers in sound and fit and finish and when driven by Aavik gear...well, talk about a match made in Heaven......

Horns.  I think it gives lots of flexibility i.e amp size.  Fleetwood and Volti come to mind.

Marten Parker series. Pick one which suits the size of your room.

I attende Pacific Audiofest yesterday.

 

The most impressive is big Genesis which costt 250k$.

Triangular horn speaker and Songer field coil speakers are also impressive but beyond your budget.

 

Borrensen spekers sound most balanced with no  serious faults at all.
