Picking Speakers 20k-30k


Recently built a HiFi System with much help from this site, now I’m looking at upgrades.  Strongly considering an all-Aavik system but looking at speaker options before I pull the trigger on anything, hence the following question: If you were buying new speakers in the 20-30k range (used or new), what’s on your shortlist?  Bonus points if you have suggestions based on synergy with Aaviks electronics.

If it helps the conversation: 21’X 19’ treated listening room with cathedral ceiling. Listen to a wide variety of music.

thanks for your expertise!

There are some very nice speakers in that price range.  One that is missing on the list is the PS Audio FR30 which may look a little utilitarian compared to some of the others, but still an attractive speaker (to me at least).  It certainly sounds like you have a room that could use a speaker of that size.  I don't know what your location is, but wouldn't it be nice to travel to Boulder Colorado to audition those, and you get to see a beautiful part of this country in the process.

The Rockport  Atria ii speakers are $26,500. The Avior ii are around $40k. 
@brewerslaw 

I highly recommend an audition of the Avior ii. Good luck in your search !

What a data list!!!  My anal-retentive personality side is highly stimulated right now. Do you also have a price list for $5,000 to $20,000?

@ronboco see my link to my local Rockport dealer above.  Atria II $38k, Avoir II $47k.  My understanding is that the prices went up in 2021.

I looked at the link. At the top it says 38k and at the bottom it says 26.5k. I think they made a mistake. I ordered my Avior ii speakers around Oct. 2021 and they were 39k then. I’ll bet you are correct about the Avior ii pricing now but I think the Atria might be high. I will ask my dealer as now I’m curious. Happy listening!
