$16K new/used speaker question?

Opinions on options for full range, 8ohm, 90db or above speakers. So far I have heard and liked both Devore GibbonX, and Acoustic Zen Crescendo's and really like them both a lot.  I'm using an all BAT tube system with the VK-150se tube amps. Any thing else I should be listening to? I've heard the Wilsons sound great with BAT gear, but on paper they look like they would be really rough on my amps.

In the end my wife and I (after almost 6 years) preferred to stay with YG Acoustics speakers. We ended up trading our Kipod II signatures for Anat II signatures w/YG binding post upgrade. WOW!  Thanks everyone.

Listen to the Magico S1 Mk II.  The top end is much better than most Wilson's, though bright for me.  You should evaluate it and see if it's for you. 

It _may_ be too hard to drive though. 

What about the Zu's?
