Speaker Upgrade Help Please

I like my sound, but am ready to upgrade from my Dynaudio Focus 220s mrk1.

My system is:
Krell 400xi integrated
Oppo 95
REL B1 Sub
Nordost Blue Heaven XLR interconnects
Morpheaus Black Cat speaker cables
Cardas Golden Cross powercord

The system is used for 30% home theater, and the rest an even balance of classical, jazz, rock.

My challenges include:
- large space with with 14 ft ceilings and almost 6,000 cubic feet to fill.
- the speakers must be forgiving in terms of placement, including close to the back wall, about 10"
- have a somewhat small footprint due to the back wall issue
- Budget $3-5K used

Thanks for any suggestions!

If you look enough you should be able to pick up a pair of pre-owned Contour 5.4's for the upper part of you budget. They even have the Esotar2 tweeter. Not quite the Confidence level but very very close. You'll get a more refined Dyn 'house sound'. Or wait a bit... The Contour line has not been upgraded in quite a while especially when looking at the Confidence line down.

Best of luck whatever you decide
