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.

I second the recommendation on the Rockport Mira - was one of the three best rooms I heard at THE show in LA when I was there. It looks like an unassuming speaker and doesn't draw attention to itself - quite tasteful looking. Sonically, it is so capable and balanced in every way. It would probably be my choice in a sub $20k speaker.

Because of your strange room shape/size, investing in a room equalizer like the Copland, Rives or Parc would probably be a good way to allocate your budget, rather than spend it all on speakers.
