$16K new/used speaker question?

Sorry not to get back to everyone til now. Was in hospital. I have heard the Acoustic Zen speakers at 4/5 different shows and they always impressed me. My wife and I did around an hour or more private audition of the Devore Gibbon X (silverback replacement ?)and I liked them a lot, wife not so much. I like the Wilson Sasha/Maxx 3  a lot also and could swing either of these. I prefer buying new.

By full range, I want in room response down to under 25hz. I'm getting that now with my little YG Kipod II sigs.  These speakers sound much better with my BAT tube amps, then with my Mac 601 amps. But they really open up and play different with all the headroom the macs offer. Looking for something that will sound great and will allow the amps to loaf along while doing it.

teeshot,

After mucho listening, your right. I've found three lines of speakers I really like, show after show and demo after demo....to include bothering locals to listen in there homes.;)

After 5 plus years with 2 models of YG's moving on will be hard. If I do it will be to bigger YG's, Magico, Marten, or Wilson. I'm going to audtion Rockports but have heard them at two shows and both times came away thinking there was a thickness to the sound.I was impressed but,  Not sure if its something I could live with long term. I'm probably going to have to save a little more $$$ to get as good or better than what I have now, and can play better in my new larger room.
