Speaker Upgrade


Hello,
I am looking to upgrade my speakers in the used market. I am considering The B&W 803D, Sonus Faber Cremona M, Dynaudio Confidence C-2, and Usher BE - 10.
The room is 20x20 with 18' ceilings. They will be mains in a 5.1 set up for SACD's, audio Dvd's and home theater. They will also be used when 2 channel listening. The amp is The Emotive XPA5 at 200x5.
Your input will be greatly appreciated!

Pkelly1504,
The speakers you're listing have so different characteristics, that I'm not sure what you really aim for upgrade or listening needs in general.

I would subtract B&W mentioned since they will not sound right with your amp.

Due to your extreamly high celiings, it's encouraged that you will build an acoustic trap another words building a stage 'tent'.

Please keep in mind that dealers often sell used speakers so you can pick them up to avoid shipping problems and charges. Not that I encourage or have any kind of interest recommending any dealers or stores, but definitely if possible, buy them locally. In Phili/Jersey I think there's a tons of possibilities from dealers and private sellers.
