Soundstage and explosive dynamics?


I’m looking high and low for speakers with the following attributes:

1. Wide and deep soundstage. Speakers can disappear from the soundstage.
2. Decent imaging.
3. Explosive dynamics with force and surprise.
4. Costs less than $10k.

For about five grand, I built custom Tannoy HPD 315 (12" Dual Concentric drivers, ca 1975), using enclosures that are nearly two inches thick, 150 liter bass-reflex, custom built crossovers with top-drawer components, and had the driver surrounds converted to hard edge.

They sound explosive and dynamic as hell, and I am able to drive them effectively with a 9 Wpc SET 300B amp, or 500 Wpc Class D. I honestly don't think they can be equaled by any commercially made speaker systems at this price.

In my experience, they are effective at producing music on a scale that sounds appropriate to whatever music you wish to play.

Just my two cents, but then my opinion is jaded by my daily enjoyment of great music listening.

Hope you find what works for you, with the budget you have to work with.

Those would be:

1.  Linkwitz Audio Orion's or LX521's
2.  Legacy Audio Aeris (pre-owned for about $15,000)
3.  Audiokinesis Dream Maker, Zeprhin, Prisma, Jazz Module...

Or, if you don't mind a monitor, which sounds like a floor standing speaker - a real "giant killer"...

4.  WaveTouch Audio Grand Tetons / Anteros
To give the most sound advise  it would be good to know first Budget,
what you have amp type,wpc, preamp ,how big is your room,
room treatment  how far away are you sitting .
