12K new/used to spend


I am thinking of upgrading my speakers and can go up to 12K, new or used but less expensive is definitely appreciated. I need fairly high WAF plus some that would sound great placed less than 3 feet from the back wall and would prefer under 48" high. I listen to a variety of music accenting rock and classical/orchestral. My front end is NorthStar CD&DAC,Aragon 8008BB amp and 28K preamp. I have a large room. (see system for more detail)
I am thinking Wilson Sophia2 or B&W D series or Sonus Faber.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as to speakers I should consider and what you like about them. Also if used, is there a limit in years used when you need to be careful about degradation from drivers and crossovers. Thanks, Joe

Look for some Coincident Total Eclipse II. For the money used 8900.00 Hard to beat.
Cemoore, the 802d is a nice speaker, but its not the best anywhere near the price. B&W carry a premium price . They are good speakers .
Sonus farbers, Coincident,Merlin,Silver line are all as good if not better at lower price points.
