The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers

Hello

I have started the "speakerjourney", where I want to be able to decide for _the_ speaker for me. I rather save up and spend some more and hopefully live with one of these speakers for a long time.

What are you guys opinion on the following speakers? Have anyone several of them?

The only thing I have now, that I want to build a system from, is a Modwright Transporter. I am going for a digital based hdd-source.

*Evolution Acoustics MM2
*Von Schweikert VR-7
*B&W 800 Diamond
*Burmester B100 Reference
*Rockport Mira II Grand
*Focal JMLab Maestro Utopia III

I want a speaker that I can live long with...be able to play all different kinds of music, and recordings without running out of the room because of "sharp/ringing highs"

Thank

I love my Magnepans. If I was building another system I would buy all Shindo gear including speakers. What price range are you targeting.

I would include the Revel Salon2's as well. I don't own them but I just read the June '08 review and they seem like they belong in this group of fine speakers.

Melchor -

How about going active:

(or, if looks doesn't matter much you'd save money with this variant: http://www.atcloudspeakers.co.uk/scm100aslpro.php)

A good DAC with a build-in volume control(a la Bel Canto's DAC3.5, or the likes), and you're up an running with an extremely capable, simple, and reasonably priced system.
