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.

Bryanhod,

If you like the B&W sound I can only think of two. Both a little over your budget.

B&W 802D.
JMLabs Utopia Diva.

Good luck in your search.

What is the new price for the B&W 802D? I found a pair of Kharma 3.2 for sale. Any opinions on these?

the new ML summits retail at 10,000 my friend's dad loves his

I have spent some time listening to the 803d's which sound great, and a little birdie told me that they are selling better than the new 802d's

I believe that the pair i of jm labs speakers i heard was the Diva? it had side firing woofers. I heard it both in a dealer demo room and at a friends house. both time i seriously disliked the speakers. it could have been the room, but i would still put my $ where my mouth is and pick the Living voices any day of the week
