Speakers for under $10k used?

Well I listen to all kind of music, but I tend to listen to rock, classical, jazz and some techno. ie Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Paul Oakenfold, Yo Yo Ma, Beethoven, and etc. Currently I got a pair of Mirage OM-5 and ATI 2500 amp(250x5). My room right now is small/mid (12x16), but I am moving in a few months and I don't know what my new place is going to be like. I only got the Mirage a few months ago, but now I want something better. The Mirage are great HT speaker, but only ok good for music. I listen to music more so I want something really good that will last me at least 5 yrs before I upgrade again. I plan to keep the OM-5 for my rear surround. As for the amp, I plan to keep it to run my surrounds and buy a pair of Krell momoblocks for the front speakers. I recently graduated from college, so this will be my first major purchase. I should get a new car, but i rather spend my money on speakers. Given my current situation I have to buy stuff one piece at a time, so I want to make the best purchase possible. Since I think the speakers are the most important part of the system, I want to build everything around it.

Thanks

It's hard to answer this without more info, but I have listened to the Revel Salons and was stunned by the beautiful liquid midrange. I have never heard anything better although I haven't heard everything out there.

The Salons are a real good option.

Get a pair of used Unos or Duos. Must have current CTRL 225 subs. You won't need Krells to run them. 5 watts of tube power will make your house and your neighbours' rock. They go really loud (102 db/Watt) are virtually indestructible and sound fantastic. That's why the smaller Unos get a Stereophile Class A rating. Make sure you set them up well - need help from friend to change bass roll off and volume on sub woofers.

Shahinian Diapasons- because they sound closer to real live music than any of the hundreds of speakers I have auditioned

You might also want to consider bringing down your budget on your speakers so that you could get components that are most suitable. The problem at that level is that more you spend, the more you will need to spend. In order to have no weak links in a system with 10k speakers, you would have to spend an additional 30k+ on the other components. Although speakers are important, all the components are critical. For example, my speakers are $$$$, but are actually the least expensive part of my system because I think the CD player is really critical. If you blow everything on the speakers, you may not have enough money to make them sound good for years to come. There are also other expenses that go a long way to making a system sound good, such as cables, power cords, stands, power conditioner, etc. An audiophiles work is never done.

I would go to some stores and listen to everything under 6-8k new to start with a list. You might even find a great speaker at 4-6k new. The question might not be, 'what do you have under 10k', but 'what speakers will excel at the aspects I appreciate most in music.' Then you can come back to audiogon to ask for opinions within that list.
