Reptar.....when I attended Decfest 2 years back, the Lil Crystal speakers were not yet fearured nor were any of Steve’s OB Speakers. At that time his woodworking shop was not finished.
I would also encourage you to take a trip to Peoria and schedule a listening session. You can hear virtually every amp and speaker pairing which will be $$$ well spent.
My upcoming home renovation will basically be the same setup that you have...high ceilings and a big open space. If the speakers you are buying are not going into is a dedicated listening room, then I would consider looking into a radial speaker, like the ERRx or the HR-1. They will fill a larger space with a wide dispersed sound better than the other speakers.
I currently run the ERR’s in an open space with vaulted ceilings and they are truly amazing, but they are paired with a solid state Yamaha amp. I am planning on buying the SE84UFO25 Zen amp in the upcoming months, so it will be interesting to see how the pairing will fair in my renovated space.
The HR-1 are $1000 more than the DNA2, but they are end game speakers. Lon runs the HR-1’s with the Decware Monoblock SU84UFO3, and gets great sound. If he chimes in, definitely take his advice as well.
If the radial sound fits you scenario, and the ERRx ( which costs $1000 cheaper as the DNA2) are a serious consideration, then I would urge for you to save up and just jump into the end game HR-1 speakers and you will never look back. I bought my ERR’s used, so the cost savings warranted my purchase.
If you have not done so, I would talk to Steve and get his input if you can’t make the trip to Decware. There are a lot of factors to consider, things like room size, room treatment (if any) your idea of a normal listening level, and even the type of music being played, just to name a few.
Hope this helps
