When I was speaker hunting, I really wanted to get a pair of KEF Blades, but couldn’t get to hear a pair and really couldn’t justify the price. I ended up buying the Reference 5’s. There was just something about paying over 25k for speakers.
$25k speakers, are we there yet?
ASR members walk away. For the rest of us.
These big expensive speakers really do need the stars to align for us to ever reach their potential so when my last speakers didn't do well with the source I had instead of upgrading the source I swapped speakers. What do you need to hear/see/know about your speakers to take the next step and build a 20 year system around them?

@bigkidz +1 (I don’t also think that room treatment changes the direct sound.)
I think if you are near NJ, then you have a solid offer from BigKids. I have heard some great speakers at $5K, $10k, $20k and $40k. I am really looking hard at a $5k set, in fact I am pretty committed, but it all went a bit sideways. Yeah we still need front ends, and room treatments are seldom a bad thing. Minor treatments can sometimes even pass a WAF test. |
