Speaker recommendation - 3K budget

I am considering new speakers. My listening room/home office is 11 X 12 X 8. Electronics include Linn Ikemi CD, Plinius 8150 int. amp. Current speakers - B&W Matrix 803.

My goal is to improve the resolution, transparency and to "tighten" the bass.

I listen to jazz, vocals, classical, some rock at moderate listening levels.

My budget is 3K and used is OK. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks, Joel

Thiel cs1.6 are GREAT and BEAUTIFUL!
Martin Logan Aeons are GREAT!

I'v been through the exact same search that your on now for the past 2 months and these were the best two I had the chance to audition. Soliloquy was another name that a lot of people kept recommending to me, but I could not find a dealer to go listen.

You can get both of these new and not worry about waranty issues and all that crap.

After home auditioning the ML Aeons, Thiel 1.6's and the Thiel 2.3's I went with the Thiel 2.3's

They are absolutly beautiful! They re-create music like no other speaker in this price range or even much higher. The build quality is perfect and the drivers are top notch.

I also auditioned speakers from Sonus Faber (Pianos), Vienna, B&W, Energy Veritas, Boston (NOT!!!), JM Labs, Monitor Audio Gold, and a few others.

Oh yeah.. Thiel also has the best customer service and a 10 year warranty. THE END RESULT IS QUALITY PRODUCT.
