Speakers for room size that provide greater detail.

I’m looking at replacing my Wharfedale Super Lintons. The room size is 24’ length, and 14’ wide. Ceilings are 12’. My current listening distance is 15’ from my speakers. I have 2 Rel Classic 99 subs, running through a Rotel RA1592. Used for only playing music.
Want a speaker that is resolving at lower and loud volumes. Speakers that are more resolving than the Super Lintons at louder the volumes specifically. I am currently looking at the Kef R11 Meta, Kef Reference 1 Meta and Wharfedale Elysian 2. I would prefer a stand mount speaker. But open to a floor standing. Besides the speakers I’ve mentioned looking for other recommendations that I can read up on and demo in person. Thanks in advance.

The Newer Sonus Faber G2-5 or bigger 8

Are class leading and sound easy more detailed and refined 

At their price class , many excellent reviews

Anthony at Perrotta consultants gave me a sweet deal

On the g2-8. I owned focal sopra2, Qualio, 

And these are better, these are the 1st with loads of trickle down 

Technologies from their flagship, these will hold me over well

Until I can  get my Rockports.

Are you open to horns like Cornwalls, La Scalas, etc?

Another vote for the KEF Reference 1 on your list. There are of course many other options, but I have owned these speakers and they are very good. The bad news is that you have to upgrade your amp at the same time, the Rotel will not cut it with these speakers, and a lot of others. And in fact could damage them at higher volumes. Find the KEF’s used and spend the rest on a high current amp.

Everyone…Thanks so much for your responses. A lot of information to digest with the speaker recommendations. Eventually I will also be replacing the Rotel 1592. I have my work cut out for me reading reviews and opinions before eventually demoing my final choices. I’m very appreciative of all your feedback.
