Silverline Sonata III or Legacy Focus 20/20?

Please provide your suggestion.

Music: classical
Source: BAT VK-5 CD player
Line: Counterpoint SA-11
Power: Counterpoint SA-100 Monoblock (fully modified)
Cable: Stealth M-21 (interconnects) & Ensemble Megaflux
Room: 18 x 30 x 12

I like the bass of my current Thiel 3.6, the high and mid from my past Silverline Sonata I. I am planning to replace my Thiel 3.6 with Sonata III but also interested in Legacy Focus 20/20 but no way to audit them. I am open to other speaker as well, please provide your suggestion on my next speaker selection.

Thanks in advance.

NO!!! I am still searching the optimal speakers for my personal taste. But in the middle of road, I picked up Galante Buckingham for temporary solution. It is a high efficiency speaker (100DB) with Altec Lansing 604 drivers. It doesn’t generate the bass (down to 35 HZ only) I wanted but the most amazing part is it delivers the sound of strings I only experienced in the concert hall (Carnegie and Lincoln Center). These speakers SING. The sound is so subtle and mellow. It can handle Bruckner’s symphonies but not Mahler’s. Thus the search continues. I am focusing on cleaning up the “inventory” now. Once all spare gears (including Thiel 3.6) find their new owners, I will bring the Buckingham to Silverline Audio to compare with Sonata III.

Again thank you all for your suggestions and apologize for the late response.
