Yes, the Bella Luna Diamanté or Sirius would be nice! Then a bigger room, different amplifiers, would also need to be employed. It never ends!

My Apogee Duetta Signatures will most likely be my final speaker. They began life as an itch to be scratched, until I heard them and unlike other panel speakers I had heard before, I heard the bass... soooo much bass, the sound was obscene in all honesty, but in the very best of ways. My collection will however remain fluid for the small part, but these gems will remain in my main system.
If I won the lottery and had my own dedicated music room then it would be these babies driven with a pair of Jardis amps pre and power as below, I have heard a very simpler set up and it all just sound so real
The Rockport Lyra's is a snip at $149,500 per pair delivered setup and voiced. By the way they weigh 560 lbs. each so shipping will be pricey.

Nice those Jadis Adrian.. I always fancied the early Yves Bernard Andr'e [YBA] amps & the early Class'e stuff.

My end-game speakers would be bigger versions of my current Quad 2905s. There was talk that they were developing one such but that rumour has gone cold. Bigger as in height, not width, of course. Having said that, I haven't heard M.L. Summit Xes so I could be swayed.
Buy Bose...And get your parking validated!.
