Which speaker should I buy? Please help.


I am looking for speakers(less than $30K) to upgrade my JM lab Mezzo Utopia. My system consists: ARC VT-150 SE mono, EMM labs DCC2 and CDSD transport digital front end, vahalla interconnects and Kimber 3038 speaker cable. I do appreciate for your recommendations.

What size room will you be putting the speakers in, what do you like to listen to, there are more questions than answers now?
Nrchy,
I use the living room as a listening room. It is 14X30 ft. I listen mostly to classical and vocal. Thanks for your comments.
I have often thought about what I would buy if money was not a concern. With 30K the speakers I would have at the top of my list to audition would be planers and ESLs. Not that I am the best person to give you advice, my system is only worth about a humble 5K.

But ones I would look at would be:

-Magnepan 20.1's with Mye stands - Under 10k new
-Martin Logan Summit (under 10k new) or used Statement E2 (used about 30k used)
-Sound Lab - as much as you want to spend depending on the model

What type of music do you like? Do you want a speaker to do 90% percent of things at 100% standard, or a speaker that will do 100% of things to a 90 % standard.
If you are looking for $30K speakers and you are asking advice here, you have problems far beyond what brand of speaker you should buy. At that price point if you don't go out and listen for yourself, you deserve whatever sorry assed mistakes you make by listening to other's advice.

A little dose of reality for you....
