Speaker for Coincident Dragons Mk 2 ? Help.

Have been pondering for a year now. Budget < 10000$
Only used.
So far the contenders:

Verity Parsifal
Devore Silverback
Reference 3A grand veena.
Devore Orangutan
Verity Amadis (a big stretch)

Have heard them all except Silverback and Reference 3A.

Rest of my system:
Coincident Linestage
Wavelength Cosecant DAC
Rega RP6 with Shelter 501

Current speakers are VA Mozart Grand.
Looking for transparency, rich sound, and a good lower end, musicality very imp.
My room is 20feet wide, 14 feet long (living room and attached kitchen) and I sit 8 feet from the speakers.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have ruled out Coincident, heard them at RMAF, they didn't grab me. I love the Orangutans for sure, am wondering if the Silverbacks might be more transparent yet less "musical" or "rich".
I am partial to speakers with a smaller footprint, AZ Crescendo is just too big. Have not heard hornings.

Matt, small world, I actually bought my dragons from Mike Morrow -- great guy. Will look more into Legacy. Thanks.

Haven't heard of Legacy before.

Seems like it has 4 Ohm impedance, my dragon's have only 8 and 16 ohm tap (although they power my 4 ohm VA Mozart quite well)

Curious, What makes you think Legacy would work well with Dragons ? Have you heard that combo before.

Subframe, Hard to say, I heard them at different times and with very different equipment. All I can say is that I liked them both: Verity and Orangutans.
I missed out twice this summer, suffice to say if either (parsifal, orangutan) of them come up in Agon again I will snap them up.

Markus, Coincident PRE is out of my price range :(

My main quandary is that the only speakers that I am able to find used are Devore Silverbacks and Reference 3A, which seem risky because I have not heard them and they might overpower my room.
