Speakers that sing

I am now looking to upgrade my speakers to something that I consider "special" I have a Bryston 4B-ST amp, BP-25 preamp, Meridian 508.24 CD player and other assorted stuff and want to get some speakers that are great for vocalists and older jazz. I was looking at the B & W 800 used. After reading many strings, I am reconsidering. Please give me your thoughts on speakers in the 5-10K range.

SEAS Thor. This is an incredibly clean MTM design that is an excellent deal. Check out www.madisound.com under the kit section. One evening with a screwdriver and you will have a speaker that is easily outperforms many speakers in the $5-10,000 per pair range. Don't be afraid to spend less than you had planned!

Used Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 or 6 or 7 can be bought for under $10K. They are neutral, efficient, dynamic and "accurate", quite a bit better than the B&W Nautilus 803, 802, or 801.

The Piega P10s are going for the low side of your range, or less. I highly recommend that you add these to your list for auditioning. They are tremendous speakers, and an amazing value at $5K or less.

Sonus Faber would be a great choice...especially for older jazz...a bit more forgiving that B&W...but certaintly very musical...good luck...I wish I had your "problem"!...Either way...you are going to have a very nice system...cheers

Hi, I am also useing a Bryston 4bst and a Bp20. I have been useing Audiostatic ES 240s electrostatics for a few years now and listen to most jazz and a lot of vocals and these do it for me. i have owned Quads and a ton of other stuff but now I have the best sound I have ever had. The Bryston stuff gives me the power I needed and blew those puny Quicksilvers away.
