Speaker upgrade


I am planning on upgrading my speakers. I have the following equipment:

B & W 802N speakers
Jeff Rowland M301 amps
Jeff Rowland Synergi IIi preamp
Wadia 270 SE tansport
Harmonix 777 DAC
Audio Magic Power conditioners

I listen to mostly female and male voaclists and older jazz. I am currently happy with the sound that I am getting but I have extra funds at this time and want to upgrade my speakers. My budget is around $10,000. I will sell the speakers after I sell the new ones and use that money to buy the Jeff Rowland 302 amp. What is out there that is a must audition speaker for a 15' x 30' listening sapce? Thanks again for any suggestions.

If you like female/male voices and jazz,to me this puts you into a Kharma ceramiqe series loudspeaker.They don't get any better for that type stuff.I enjoy my 1.0 Kharmas very much.Just right for what i listen too. I know they are not cheap but nothing is these days.There are are usually some good deals around if your patient.Unfortunately everyones expectations are different so live demos are the best way to go if possible.Don't trust any elses ears but yours.
Bryanhod : I think if you pick one of the smaller Kharmas' it'll work fine.As long as you can bring them out a few feet from the wall.If you can find a 3.0 or 3.1 they should,nt be too costly and sound very similar. When I was demoing the kharmas and listened to the 3.0,2.0 and 1.0 and actually was going to buy a 2.0 and 1.0 used came up ata very reasonable price and I purchased them as quick as possible.They are truly a wonderfull speaker to listen to...
My room is about 600 sq feet, so size was not a big issue ,but cost was...Good luck and feel free to e-mail ,if I can help I'd be happy to.
