Speaker upgrade around 100k retail

Hi guys,

I'm selling my Focal Maestro Utopia III speakers, which I love very much. Nothing wrong with them, I only have the bug again. So here are the ones I'm considering as next step

- Focal Stella Utopia EM (not the new EVO)
- Rockport Altair 2
- Magico M Project
- Tidal Agoria

My system:

CH Precision C1 + D1 / dCS Rossini
Krell EVO Two
Krell FPB 450 mcx / Lamm M1.2 / Burmester 911 monos
Tara Labs cabling

I would buy them as ex-demo or second hand, price differences are within 10-20k range.

So please share your thoughts, experiences, suggestions. Which one yould you choose?

How can you decide without auditioning?  Let your ears tell if a new speaker sounds better.  Perhaps you already have the right speaker for your ears.  Perhaps buy a nice car instead or invest the money.

Have you considered contact a high-end manufacturer that will modify or make you a custom one-off speaker designed for your listening room?

Trolling at the $100K level is discouraging.

Maybe, but at this level it’s like arguing that a McLaren is better than a Bugatti. Impulse and pedigree rule.
