Thank you all for your thoughts. I’ve put together a short-list of the speakers I’d like to audition - a bit limited to where I live but so far we have:
1. Dynaudio Contour series
2. KEF R-series
3. Monitor Audio silver line
Not crazy about in-wall or ceiling setup because I move every 5 years or so and the thought of leaving bits behind to people who will likely not appreciate them disturbs my calm.
As for upstream gear, I am going to look at separates - haven’t started much research on that front yet. I have a Marantz AV processor now and don’t have any issues with it, beyond it being 7 years old. Maybe upgrade to an AV7705 and get a nice amp. Once I choose speakers I’ll go there next.
Oh this is getting exciting...
Thanks again,
Steve
