Jughead did you take a look at the Nola Ko's?

There's a pair of Sonus Faber Elipsa's up for sale on this site now. It's hard to do better than those for $10K.

In home trial is what you want. You might have to pay return shipping but that should be the only real risk if legit.

OR buy used and do not overpay and then resell and move on as needed for another way to try in home with less risk. For large expensive gear, look for good used options that have all the potential shipping issues covered. I like to wait for a local seller and pick up myself whenever possible, especially for larger heavy expensive gear like $10K speakers.

I agree, and wavetouch audio does offer a 40 day in home trial, I just have to pay return shipping. The owner of the company is confident that his speakers will outperform my VA Mozart's and I wont return them. what's to lose? nothing since there is a in home trial. 2k is far from 10k but who knows what they sound like? they might go toe to toe with speakers 2 to three times their cost.
