General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Hello there!
This is my first post in an online forum. I appreciate your help.

I have a system which I like, but am ready to take to the next level. This is my current system:
* EMM Labs CDSA
* Krell KCT
* Krell FPB 350 Mcx
* Wilson Audio WATT/Puppy 5.1

The oldest component which I have is the speakers, and I would like to bring them to the same standard as the rest of the system.

Which speakers would you recommend? I live in Egypt but will go to New York to buy, since the prices are much better there. Here is my "short-list":
* Wilson Audio WATT/Puppy 8
* Avalon Indra
* Magico V3
* B&W 800D
* YG Acoustics kiPod
* Krell Modulari DUO

I like an open sound, transparent but not too bright, with a good sense of rhythm and pace. I listen mostly to Western opera and Arabian music. My room is 5 by 5 meters, with a ceiling of 3 meter height. It is in an old house with stone walls, and thick rugs on the walls. I listen at moderate levels.

I also have a question, which is related: I have just bought the new TAS, and saw a 30-page (!) article about Magico there. While from previous reviews I was highly impressed with Magico, I am having doubts now, as it seems as though the magazine was "bribed" by the manufacturer. Can anyone please comment and let me know whether my suspicions are substantiated? I would like to know whether my good impressions about Magico are just because they paid off some reviewers. I never tried their speakers out yet, but plan to do so during my next trip to New York, as well as try out all other speakers on my short-list.

Thank you
