Speaker selector app.

I wish someone made an app to help select speakers.
Here's what I want:
Full range with a silky but extended and detailed top end. No mid-range harshness. Sound good at low levels and be able to play classical music at concert levels. Good sound stage and depth. Bass down to 20hz for pipe organ music. What more could I want? Around $6000. Any ideas?

I think you are remembering Innovative Audio. The owner's name by the way is also Elliot. You may also remember Kasey McKee, he was one of the best in audio retailing.

thanks, that sounds correct, including someone else being Elliott. You seem to know the different spelling as well as Kasey.

I was only in the store, drop in without an appointment, a few times, just an impressive memory.

I didn't have much more than interest then (not interest on money, no spare change then).

SALK SONG3 ENCORE'S priced at $6,000/pair.  Certainly better than any $20.000 pair of speakers you will ever hear.

However.........soosh!  They sell direct and the dealers here sure wouldn't want to hear this.

Just more drivers in a box Larry. They may be very well designed in terms of driver choice and cross over design but in the end they are just more drivers in a box. If it comes down to that type of speaker I have not yet seen one better made than Sonus Faber. But I have not ever been near Salk Speakers. However saying they are better than any $20,000 speaker is a stretch for sure. SoundLabs 545 ESLc go for something like $13,000.
