Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range


I realize there are thousands of options, but I'm looking for strong personal experiences/recommendations for floor-standing speakers in the $12-25k range. I currently have Dynaudio Heritage Special stand-mounts. They really are a great speaker in many ways, but full-range they are not. There's an obvious missing element to the music in the <45Hz range. I listen to 95% vinyl, 5% CD (I stream off a Bluesound very occasionally to get ideas for albums to purchase). My system is comprised of a Rega P10 with Hana umami red cart, Modwright PH150 reference phono stage, Oppo 205 disk player all into an Octave V80SE integrated amp with super black box.

My current "leaders" for speakers are Qln Prestige 5 and Devore Gibbon X based on what I've heard, but have liked the Wilson Sabrina Xs and have heard great things about the newer Borresen X3s. Any experiences/recommendations welcome. 

Cheers!

The Quad Electrostatics for 15k are the most transparent windows into the music hands down in that price point 

 Lots of incite and great response.  I own the QLN P5's that you mentioned with the Devores.  Devores were one of the speakers I really wanted to hear but didn't. My Final 2 choices were the P5's and the Joseph Perspectives. The P5's are everything you'll read about them, really good. Soix had mention of your amp and I think it would be ok but suggest you call James at Choice Audio in Mpls and get his opinion , he knows the Qln like the roof of his mouth.

I didn’t read all the posts. I also have Dynaudio HS on the stand 20. My suggestion is a pair of REL subs. They will do much more than just add the bottom end. A pair of S/510 or S/812 would do it all. I have a single S/510 but my space is much smaller than yours. Oh and I think the the Octave Research might not have enough grunt for the HS. I use an Aestheix Mimas on mine it’s about double the amount of power the Octave has. Dynaudio’s really love power!

I’ll second Vuch. I have the Magico A3 and love them, and they have ample bass for me w/o sub(s). Not sure how they sound with low power. I’m pushing with 300 w Hegel 590.

I don’t normally agree with ANY dealers but audiotroy gives good advice here and so does soix . I have heard Legacy and Devore speakers and they are tremendous. For vocals and jazz, the Devore speaker is a beautiful speaker.
