Large speaker recommendation

I've lived with the Sonus faber Elipsa speakers for 10+ years. Now thinking about upgrading to something with a bigger sound. Elipsa sounds great with classical music but not so great with pop/percussion type of music in my system/room. I do listen to classical music most of the time though, but hope to get a pair of speakers that are good in both worlds. Have also owned Tekton DI and Audio Solutions Figaro XL (really big, too big) but looking for something better, under $30k used or new, aesthetically pleasing. My system consists of: Mark Levinson No. 33H monos, Mark Levinson No. 523 preamp, Aesthetix Io signature phonostage, Basis Ovasion turntable, Vyger Atlantis turntable, digital components include Okto Dac8 Stereo, Oppo UDP-205, AMR DP-777 dac, Schiit Yggdrasil, and Bryston BDA 3.14. Room dimensions: 20x15x9 ft. Thanks! Ron

@ditisa 8.7k is the price each for those JBLs.

Yes, The OP’s budget is $30K or less used or new.

If you have the space, Cornwall 4s have taken the Klipsch legacy line into new territory… they are worth a listen. Strings, guitars, and horns are fantastic. Voices are very good as well.

I would recommend Either some of the higher end Dynaudios or Raidho’s.

Both of those are what you described. The Raidho is probably more to your liking as you listen to more classical but the high end Dyn’s are also amazing. And you already have the front end for both of those choices. 

Planers are another good option, albeit slightly different from what you were asking about (Dynamic).

My 2c - Good luck and remember to have fun with it.

Cheers!
