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!

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.

I found one used listing at Audiogon but no relation to the listing.

@brewerslaw sending you a PM as you are somewhat local. I'm in a similar boat and will be watching your search closely.

I demoed the persona's for over a year and it wasn't until I heard the Pathos Logos mk2 that I fell in love with the speakers. Now I have a pair of mac mc 611's driving a pair of kef blades. but if you can borrow a pathos logos mk 2 b4 moving on from your speakers you may not want to.

I have SF Amati tradition and love them. There are a number of folks trading these in recently to get the newer G4 edition, so used Tradition models are out there for  under 30K...
