The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers

Hello

I have started the "speakerjourney", where I want to be able to decide for _the_ speaker for me. I rather save up and spend some more and hopefully live with one of these speakers for a long time.

What are you guys opinion on the following speakers? Have anyone several of them?

The only thing I have now, that I want to build a system from, is a Modwright Transporter. I am going for a digital based hdd-source.

*Evolution Acoustics MM2
*Von Schweikert VR-7
*B&W 800 Diamond
*Burmester B100 Reference
*Rockport Mira II Grand
*Focal JMLab Maestro Utopia III

I want a speaker that I can live long with...be able to play all different kinds of music, and recordings without running out of the room because of "sharp/ringing highs"

Thank

My favorite speakers are those made by Coincident Technology.

The top of the line Coincident Technology Pure Reference Extreme's are $26,000- $26,800. These speakers are basically the Pure Reference speakers that have the tweeter/midrange section in a separate enclosure and the base enclosure houses the woofer/subwoofer.

The next down is the Pure Reference at $22,000. These can be driven exquisitely by Coincident Technology's own "Frankenstein" 8 watt/channel amp, which is the finest low-powered amp I have ever heard. It lists for $5,999, but if you buy a Coincident speaker with them you get a $1,000 discount.

The recently released update of the Total Victory IV is now the Total Victory V at $15,000.

You might consider the Verity Audio Parsifal, Amadis, and Sarastro II.

For that matter, you might want to consider every $20,000 speaker, which this is what is going to turn to. A more interesting question might be "what $20,000 speakers are not very good and not worth the price?" I would hope most are pretty darn good, or they won't be around very long.

"For that matter...”

And that is Bingo! Well said.
