$40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list

Hello all,

I'm currently owning a system which consists of Mark Levinson 33H amps, Mark Levinson Nr 32 Pre-amp, a Wadia 860x Cd player and a pair Revel Ultima Studio speakers. Cables are Nordost Valhalla/Valkyrja.

I believe my speakers are the weakest link in my system and am considering upgrading. I listen to all sorts of music, from jazz, classic to pop/dance.

I have a few speakers on my wish list but they are not easy to find to listen to them so I want ask you opinion first before I start searching for a dealer the have one or more of these brands.

Could you please go through the list and rank them from 1 to 6, best to "worse" speaker and explain why you think the list should be in that order.

The speakers I am thinking about are (in random order):

1. Sonus Faber Stradivari
2. Verity Sarastro
3. Lumen White white light
4. Rockport Antares
5. Revel Ultima Salon
6. Avalon Eidolon Diamond

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,

Max

Jkalman, you honestly don't think man has a obsession for money and material?

If not you must be brand new to america, cause materialism is unfortunately strong in this country and fancy audio is no different then a fancy house or boat.

You obviously need to be right so your right as far as I am concerned.

Jmcgrogan2,

Yada yada yada...

I get it Jmcgtogan2, I don't like your speakers so you continue to make red herring posts attacking me personally and my posts. Perhaps you should take your own advice, since your posts so far, except for one, have nothing to do with this thread and are only aimed at attacking me. It is ironic that you try to pretend there is any logic in your argument when it is only hypocracy at its best. If you don't like it, don't post, thus taking your own advice.

Freemand,

I said in my last post to you, "Besides any failings of human nature..." Meaning, yes, it is a human condition. I don't think it applies to all things though, as no one of consequence in my life is impressed by name brand hifi equipment. So, I do agree, but not wholeheartedly. Also compared to some equipment on these fora, I don't have the top of the line models or absolute best gear in the world (if there us such a thing), and that doesn't bother me because I'm happy with what I have.

I only argue because I see something worth arguing, not because I want to win the argument at the expense of truth.
