Picking Speakers 20k-30k

Recently built a HiFi System with much help from this site, now I’m looking at upgrades.  Strongly considering an all-Aavik system but looking at speaker options before I pull the trigger on anything, hence the following question: If you were buying new speakers in the 20-30k range (used or new), what’s on your shortlist?  Bonus points if you have suggestions based on synergy with Aaviks electronics.

If it helps the conversation: 21’X 19’ treated listening room with cathedral ceiling. Listen to a wide variety of music.

thanks for your expertise!

The Rockport  Atria ii speakers are $26,500. The Avior ii are around $40k.

I highly recommend an audition of the Avior ii. Good luck in your search !

I looked at the link. At the top it says 38k and at the bottom it says 26.5k. I think they made a mistake. I ordered my Avior ii speakers around Oct. 2021 and they were 39k then. I’ll bet you are correct about the Avior ii pricing now but I think the Atria might be high. I will ask my dealer as now I’m curious. Happy listening!

Will do. I agree with you 37 k is a lot ! You just can’t go up that much in two years.

I just called my dealer and holy cow you are right ! 38k for the Atria ii and 48k for the Avior ii! I love my Avior ii but how can Rockport increase that much in 2 years? Geez.

I’m not sure if there are improvements made to the speakers. I’m going to my dealer on Saturday and will ask.

Maybe the Atria and Avior were selling so good they thought they could bump the price way up and still have strong sales. I do love my Avior ii. 
 

Happy listening!
