Used prices on Acoustic Zen "Crescendos" fall within your price range.
purchasing US made speakers
I currently have psb imagine t2 speakers. I am interested in replacing them with US manufactured speakers 10-12 k being the maximum price....perhaps aerial acoustics, vandersteen,,,,,any thoughts? My hearing at age 70 diminishes at 8,000 hz so a good midrange is probably good.

Charney Audio Companions would be a good fit. Depending on your choice of driver they should fit right into your budget. They are hand crafted in the great state of NJ USA!! http://charneyaudio.com/ |
There are nice used pairs of Joseph Audio Perspectives available for around $6k. Have them sent to Jeff Joseph for latest Graphene upgrade and you’ll have some awesome speaks for around $10k. Another option that could save you $$$ is the LSA 20 Statement available new here discounted by the manufacturer for $4500/pr (retail $7k) that includes some nice speaker cables as a bonus. It’s said they targeted the Perspectives as their performance bogey, and they reach down to a very respectable 25Hz. Initial reviews of the new LSA models have been stellar, and they offer a 30-day trial, which is really nice. Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
You didn't say where you are from, so not sure how easy it is for you to get around to evaluate. But I will add the Legacy Focus to the list. There are two models. One passive, and one with an ICE amp module for the two 12" woofers. I never had the opportunity to listen to these as I auditioned the Whisper and the Aeris, went with the Whisper. |
