Advise Needed, Best speakers for approx $15,000


Hi There,
Cary 306/200
Pass X0.2 Pre
Halo JC1 Monoblocks

Musical Tastes mainly pop, female vocals, old and new rock, some heavymetal , some dance.

Room is 30' long X 20' Wide. Listening distance is 10'

I have a budget of about $15,000.00 to play with. Looking for speakers that are dynamic,coherent and have good bass extension and slam along with all the other usualy hifi qualties, transparency, detail,openess and imaging.

So far have been seriously considering:

JM Labs Utopia Alto's
Vanderstenn 5A
Meadlark Blue Heron2

Other possible choices:

VMPS RM/X
Something from Kharma
Revel Studios or Salon's
B&W Sig 800's
Wilson WP7

I live in small city , I can audition none of these locally. Loooking for advise, opinions on the last speaker I will buy for a long time.

Thanks,
Magoo

Time for a vacation. While it is great to daydream with all these flawless speakers, your listening tastes will determine which of these YOU like. You can arrange to take your amp cables and preamp to some great stores and test everything out. Now if you don't want to pay retail but buy used, it is much more difficult. I would never buy a speaker unheard though.
