DynAudio Contour 60 vs Paradigm Persona 7F
I heard the c60 and the 5f and it's pretty nice having first world problems :) I think it will depend on the music and QUALITY of recordings as the esotar2 tweeter has a rep for being a bit more forgiving. My money would be the C60 and your room s... 
Focal Aria 936 vs Flectra 1028BE
Congrats, Those speakers will last you a lifetime! they're a bit unforgiving to average recordings but not harsh or bright like I considered all the jmlabs/focal of 10-15 years ago.  
Most resolving Speaker
I heard a pair of raidho 1.2 tiny stand mounts I would vote for. The big $225k wilsons would probably work, but it would be like killing a fly with a bazooka. 
Revel Ultima Salon 2
I  visited axpona 2018 and got to hear quite a few speakers and I heard nothing that made me want to swap out my Salon's, I suppose in an average size room you could spend less and get comparable sound. I've heard these speakers in 3 different roo... 
If you like Revel F208, you would love ....
I've been listening in the $ 10k range to replace my salons that I bought after hearing the f208. Room size. I went to axpona this weekend and in the hotel rooms I found smaller bookshelf speakers sounding better than big $50k's. for an average si... 
Shipping heavy speakers
thanks all for the suggestions, when that buyer finds meI now have resources. 
KEF R107/2 vs REVEL f52
I think you might be referring to the R207/2 not the R107/2 unless adding ferrofluid to these vintage tweeters and jc1 amps makes a really big difference, and as much as I enjoy the R107's they won't throw a soundstage  the likes of the new hi end... 
Opinions on best integrated under 10k?
oops, I posted above before reading  page2.  
Opinions on best integrated under 10k?
Try the Hegel H190 if you like the H160 the new model has the same power ratings but manages to get an even better grip on the bass and I notice a bit more up top also. The display looks professional(finally) and the headphone jack's on the side. 
Magico S5 vs Revel Salon 2
BUMP, Tell us about the Magico's 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
I'm double dipping. I posted my interest in the same price range as you and since I just bought my Hegel H360 and whatever I hear will still have to sound good 'in my room' I went ahead and bought a used pair of Revel Salon2's locally that I shoul... 
speakers with balls
Horns!, Cerwin Vega, Dynaudio, JBL, Klipsch, legacy, and while I don't exclusively 'ROCK' my Revel's do a great job when i'm in the mood, they do need more watts than many others tho. 
KEF R107/2 vs REVEL f52
Anybody curious about comparing the R107/2 to a newer design f52? The kef can still hold its own in the bass against virtually any full range speaker out there, midrange is still pretty good, but the tweeter from the early 90's is showing its age.... 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
I'm really enjoying this thread since i'm shopping at the low end of your price range. I have had many, many pair of Kef's and while I love what that uniq driver does well I find kef voices the bass a bit too conservative for my taste. Currently  ...
