quest for speaker upgrade


good day all, i am looking for advice for my next speaker upgrade  my budget is 20K

 

i have been exclusivley a 2 way monitor stand mount type of person but would like to make the jump into floor standers

 

i currently have a few pairs that i swap out occasionally

they are as follows

Diapason Micro's

Totem Model 1's

Salk sound  SSM6

 

i use a solid state amp from YBA  and i also have an older McCormack DNA 1

i stream  music from Tidal no other source

 

currently i am looking at these models

 

Alta Audio Adam

 

Gershmann 30 anniversery Grand Avant Gard

 

room size 20 by 20

 

i would appreciate any other  suggestions  in that price range at this point i am leaning towards the Gerhmann  mainly because they are Canadian and made locally about 30 miles from me

yes indeed Joseph audio i forgot to mention is definelty on my short list and luckily there is a dealer in Toronto that carry that line

 

 

i thought Verity went out of business?

 

i might add  Sonus Faber to my short list  i was contemplating Diapason since i already own a pair of their Micro's  but their floor stander is upwards of $80K  way out of my 20K budget

i think in this price range i will go the dealer route rather than used market, i am comfortable buying used normally and have have no bad experience in the past  but i would limit my exposure to about 3k limit buying used through CAM  at 20K  i think i would feel more comfortable going the bricks and mortar route perhaps  in the demo or trade in  route.

i might ad B& W  to my short list, although i have never given B & W a second look not sure why
