Listening to Jimi’s "Let the Good Time Roll" on my 804D3s which are kicking ass nicely...
I would offer you to take a listen to the Paradigm Persona 7F’s at $25k/pr or the 9H’s at $35k/pr for comparison. You can find the closest dealer on their website at paradigm.com - click the "where to buy" tab at the top of the homepage.

They are like a surgeon’s light at this price and will show you everything you put in front of them. They are super easy to drive, but can take a lot of power as well. Phenomenal bass with a clear and prominent midrange. The drivers will sound as one as they play in unison together.

Tubes, solid state, cables, all of it, Persona’s will reveal the differences in every choice you make. Some dealers can make them sound decent, and some can make them sound spectacular, that’s just how precise they are. They can work in a wide variety of rooms, but again, the setup is key. Too many dealers plunk speakers down without any rhyme or reason as to where they’re placed and that can make or break the audition. Great dealers can make them sound great in any room.

Thank you for reading and any consideration.

I have a pair of 800 D3s.  They are powered by a McIntosh 8207 with a McIntosh 160 controler!  My room is 20x17!  I don’t feel that the D3s are getting enough power!  Looking for stereo or mono amp suggestions.  I have heard the McIntosh 1.25 and they sounded great but $$$.  Any suggestions?  Has anyone listened to Michi M8?
