New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know!

I can see you are a high-hi-end listener. Me too, but I learned a lot when I was partners in Audio Tweakers over a decade ago. My then biz partner had a cost no object budget, which I got to hear regularly. He now owns Scaena Loudspeakers which combine art and sound to great results

Now, I have owned my share of exotic speakers to drive my 17 x 34 x 11 living/listening room, including building frames for rewired Accoustat 3 + 3 with 4 tweaked servo amps, Genesis Vs (as did my partner in the early days) but mine were HPs personal pair.  I much prefer dipoles, which are known to disappear, while throwing a hyge sound stage

If you have the room I suggest you investigate the new Magnepan 30.7s, but only those.  If you would like to hear what a measly $2K buys you, I am selling my pair of Emerald Physics KCIIs, internally wired with WireWorld OCC. Only reason I am selling is I got a super sweet deal on a pair of EP 3.0s. See my ad and review in AA

I pulled the trigger on the Quatro Wood CT after many hours of listening and comparing. I cant wait to get them delivered and setup. Thanks for all the great responses.

Awesome and congrats.  What helped you make that decision?  Which wood or paint did you go with?  Also, wondering which dealer?  If you have questions feel free to ask.  Glad that you went to audition to many speakers as that's the most important thing you can do.  

New gear is always fun.  Just installed three new pairs of Audioquest Hurricane power cords and even though they need breaking in, the Quatro's are crushing it like never before!  

Congrats!!!  Awesome speakers. 

I bet you can get a Vandersteen 5 for your price.
