As mentioned above, depends on your musical taste, room, listening volume, etc. A couple more to consider in your price range are: Vienna Acoustics Mahler, Talon Khorus X Mk II (love them or hate them!)
Good luck!

Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range
Hello all!
I will be buying new speakers at the end of September.
My budget is roughly $7.5K (can flex some if a steal is found).
I am currently looking at:
-B&W 802N (5000K used and 7K demo)
-JM lab Mezzo Utopia (7k used)
-Revel Studio (7.5K used)
-Dynaudio Confidence 5 (5k used)
-Wilson Sophia Used (8.5K? used)
-Wilson Watt/Puppy6 (8.5K? used)
I like all of these speakers for different reasons. I would be happy with any of them, but wish I could afford the wilsons - my favorite.
Any thoughts? At this price I want to know I considered everything.
My gear: EAD 8000pro preamp, Levinson No.27, Classe CAV150, SACD XA-777es, Pioneer Elite DV-47 DVDm, Transparent Audio and Audioquest interconnects...
