16K to Spend. Help me make the end all Upgrade.

Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading my speakers; Aerial 10t's. I need to upgrade the speakers for a couple of reasons, one being the waf. I'm looking to get the best 2ch stereo speakers out there for 15-17K. I'm currently looking at Revel Studio2s and Dynaudio Saphires (although I don't think they're physically attractive so waf would be a factor), also possibly interested in JM labs 1037be's. I really wanted to get people's opinions as to what else is out there, what's better or comparable to these speakers. I don't want to upgrade these speakers again so I'm looking for something to hold me over for a long time to come.

Get another W - that's a better upgrade!

Sorry about the joke - how about a new Revel Ultimate Salon 1. Consider many as reference speaker in it's class.

Or MBL 111 - very different speaker but once heard you will want it. The The bass goes down to 20hz!!

Personally I suggest do not upgrade becuase of the room size is too small for any good speaker to sing unless you invest $$ into room treatment.

Your Aerial 10t are very good speaker and I think if you want to upgrade to another level you need to spend 30K+ to make a difference. Speakers in the 16K range will sound different and will not significanly better than yours.

As for WAF, this will cost you a lot because good looking and good performance speaker is very expensive and rare. I would like to get a pair as well but after trying for so many I settle with MBL 111. If looks are really important then I think I can settle with B&O 5.
