$10K or less speakers for 20x20 rm with open back


Willing to spend about $7500-10K for speakers to place in my family room which has an open back to the kitchen, with the family room being about 20x20.. I do not have a system at all right now, unless you count my iPhone and Bose docking system, so anything I get will be a major improvement.

Aside from being unsure about the power and components, I have listened to these 3 speakers so far....Focal 1038be, Aerial 7T and Salk SoundScape 8. Most of the time the system will be on for general use but when I get the chance i really like to listen to the music loud.

Considering going to the Capital Audio Fest in 2 weeks to get an idea of else maybe out there.

Any comments on the 3 speakers mentioned above and if there are other things I should consider that price range?

Thanks.

You should try to hear PMC IB2i as well.
Seanile,

I think you made a good choice; you are right, the Revels make almost no mistakes - very important for the long haul.

Make sure you have adequate power driving those Revels and you should be happy. Also, be patient during break in and let you and your system settle in over time...
