For $27,000 you should really come out to upscale audio and audition them properly and compare them to other speakers in that ballpark. When I was auditioning speakers there they did a great job of putting together a system comparable to my home system, and although I went out there primarily to listen to Focals, ended up with the Westminister’s “little” Cheviot cousins.
The experience was so positive that if you are flying into LAX, I will drive you out there if you let me “help.”
