Speaker choice for BAT VK3xi/VK250


I'm at the end of my charter and am looking for a match for the gear listed above. I love vinyl of all sorts, you name it... I have about $5k and a large, open but broken up area w/10' ceilings. I've been researching 3.6 Maggies, Dynaudio 5.4, Sophia II, Watt puppy 5.1 I don't have any easy way to audition speakers in my home so I need to be careful when I make a decision. Any help would be great

I am using a pair of Wilson Sophia 2 with an all BAT system with excellent results (see my system). You should be able to find a nice second hand pair of Wilson Sophia Series 1 near $5000.00.
The problem with Sophia 2s for you is they are nearly $17,000 new and around $9-11,000 used! I have no personal experience with the Sophia Series 1. My understanding is that the Sophia 2s offer refinements over the Series 1, but are not radically different speakers. Perhaps someone else can weight in on this...
