BEST SPEAKER FOR BRYSTON 7B ST,,,


hi folks!!! i am currently on the market for an excellent
pair of speakers for my beloved bryston 7b st...i just love the sound
of these amp and having fun right now BUT have decided to
change/upgrade my speakers...here is my set-up: preamp is
bryston bp25, amp is bryston 7b st, sources are both linn
ikeme and sony scd 777es, conditioner is chang lightspeed
9900 for the amp and ps audio p300 for the preamp and source...ic's are nordost quattro fil for all (just purchased and actually on the way)and speaker cable will be
nordost spm reference...I HAVE USED AND SOLD THE FOLLOWING
SPEAKERS for these set-up (except that i havent used the
nordost line in these configuration, but have used cardas
golden reference ic and golden cross speaker cable in biwire
set-up) AERIAL ACOUSTICS 7B, MIRAGE OM8 AND OM6, MONITOR AUDIO SILVER 5i AND 7i, DEFINITIVE TECH. BP3000TL...AND RIGHT NOW I AM ON THE BERGE OF UPGRADING TO A BETTER (???)SOUNDING SPEAKERS...MY CHOICES ARE THE FOLLOWING IN ORDER
OF PRIORITIES:
1. B&W 802
2. AERIAL ACOUSTICS 10T
3. PROAC 3.8
4. THIEL 7.2
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD TO ANY OF MY CHOICES IF YOU'VE USED
THEM WITH THE BRYSTON 7ST OR AT LEAST HEARD THEM ON A DEMO..MY HOMETOWN IS SO FAR AWAY FROM MOST HI-END DEALERS
WHICH LIMITS ME FROM MAKING AN AUDITION...YOUR COMMENTS WILL
BE GREATLY APPRECIATED... by the way i mostly listened to
classic rock music (like pink floyd, van halen, bad co., etc) and my music room is roughly, i would say moderate size..I'VE HAD FUN WITH THE SPEAKERS THAT I'VE USED AND
MENTIONED ABOVE BUT I JUST FEEL THE ITCH (AGAIN..AND AGAIN) TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR THE LAST TIME (???, THAT'S
WHAT I TOLD MY WIFE)...THANKS IN ADVANCE FOLKS!!!

well, thanks for the 4 responses so far...i really appreciate it...it looks like the b&wn802 which is my
first choice would be the best bet for now...i was also
considering the magnepan 3.6 but have not tried them out
in anyway as i mentioned that my area is way out from really
bountiful dealerships...as far as my preamp which i'm pretty
sure will have to go in the near future (???don't know how
soon)which i got brand new is only about probably 2-3 months old
so, i think i'm gonna keep 'm for now until i find a perfect
(or near perfect for my taste)speakers...the hales rev 3, have read one or two review of these but then again accessibility is so a big question mark in my area...i'll keep everybody posted "which of the speakers mentioned would win my taste" though it would be very difficult for me
to decide, unless i get a considerable amount of suggestion..or probably i have to travel and look for a good place to audition the mentioned speakers which would probably the best thing to do but i'm leaving it open for now...i am not having fun with the speakers that i am using right now (the mirage om 6)since it doesn't give me the sweet sounding midrange as what my aerial acoustics 7b that i just sold 2 weeks ago...well thanks so much folks...i hope i'll get some more comments and suggestions since we audioaddicts have one thing in common for goals and thats the ultimate audio nirvana (which is never ending), great sound but would not ruin your wallet...
