New speaker suggestion

Hello, I am looking at upgrading my speakers and want to spend about $10-12k new or used. While the speakers I have now sound real nice, I want more detail and wider soundstage, all that fun stuff. My system is as follows:

Paradigm 95F speakers
REL S5 sub
PASS X150.8 amp
PASS XP 17 preamp 
PASS XP12 phono preamp
VPI Classic 3 Signature turntable
Hana ML cartridge 
Aurender N100SC streamer 
Chord Cutest DAC 
Shunyata Denali 6000 v2 conditioner 
Nordost Heimdall2 for all power and interconnects. 
Thank you for your time and suggestions

My advice is to save your money wait til you can get Stenheim Alumine Three. I just came back from listening to Magico A3, Harbeth SHL5+XD, 40.2XD. Not even close to Stenheim. Good luck 😃

Of all the above suggestions, Legacy Focus HD speakers offer the best value as well as being a great match with your Pass amps (even better with Coda). Made in the US with outstanding cabinet/veneer construction.

All great options! I am a little surprised Revel F228be hasn’t made the list, maybe not a good match?

I very recently bought dynaudio confidence 30's.  I love them.  Sound fantastic and I think they are nice looking too.  Probably could get them used in your price range.

I agree, if you are looking for new speakers be prepared to replace the amps too. Wilson and Focal are completely different speakers, Wilson is easier, it will sound good with many amps. Sound Labs is a totally different direction.
