~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought


There a chance I'll be able to make a significant investment in my speakers within a few months, and jump from $4K/pr Focal 926 to something in the 10-15K range. I'm running krell gear and have no intention of changing electronics, they are perfectly suited to my ears - - but if new speakers expose weaknesses, then I'll tackle that later.

Here's the thing: aesthetics matter to me, a lot, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I love my art and home and music is a huge part of my lifetime joy. These are some of the brands /models that I personally think are beautiful, and I'd love to hear from folks who could speak to a possible pairing with Krell. I like precision, speed, clarity, and firm bottom. 

Room is approx 18x20x9. New or used is ok.

Spatial (loved the demos I heard but not sure if OB would work in my space)

Appreciate any insight, despite the aesthetic emphasis.

Given the importance of aesthetics - something that I share - you might consider a speaker that can be finished to you taste - whether in a wood veneer or in a paint finish. For example, Zu audio. 
(((choice would be Vandersteen 5A Carbon. You don’t see these used very often. There is one pair on Audiogon.)))
 Smart Move!
Yes, but that pair just got sold this weekend
 I may know when the next pre-owned pair is available. Make sure you also hear a New Pair of Vandersteen Quatro CTs with custom tuning, it's also hard to find these used. ((Tomic,((((even your big amp will benefit w powered bass and the mains high passed ... eleven bands of analog EQ to fix the room...)))
So true, Time aligned drivers leged design and your finished asking questions enjoying the music. 
 Best, JohnnyR
