I Have 100K for Speakers?

From what I've heard you really need to work down from the Verity Sarastro. Good luck!

Give me 100k to spend on speakers alone, wow! I don't think the speaker I would chose is that much maybe 69k, but to power the Nautilus from B&W is an entirely differnt amount of money. so add the left-over money from the speaker to the amps and pre money pool. Obviously now, you have that kind of money for speakers, better have a big room to put them in. Deminishing returns, who cares if I had the money for this speaker and the power to push it, I'd own it. Maybe I'll own it some day, but for now have to settle on 802D's, but nice to dream anyway.

in the interest of really getting what you want, which requires alot of thought before you even begin, turn the question around a bit- "i want speakers that sound as realistic as the current technology allows on any/all types of music". then you have to choose the type you prefer of course- planar, dynamic, point-source, omnidirectional, HORNS, etc. THEN couple this with the capability to auto-calibrate to any room. certain JBL professional monitors already have an active microphone system built in which constantly feeds back information from the listening position and adjusts the frequency-response curve to achieve a flat response. AND/OR you could add into the criteria that they have to sound great in "an "XYZ" type of room (i.e. size, shape, ability to redecorate the room or not, etc).
after you narrow the field down using the criteria you prefer, the speakers you want might end up being the new MBL reference ($200k) or maggie 20.1's (1/20th as much), quads or ultra-refined horns, etc. OR, you could just pay a talented designer to come over, look at the room, and then build them to order.

Zigonht -

Even if I wanted to spend 30k AND had wifes approval I don't think my ears could tell differences enough to be cost effective..

I'm suggesting that yr ears will tell an appreciable difference up to around that price level.

The answer to the question, "which" 100k speakers is easy, and given above ("frites")

pay a talented designer to come over, look at the room, and then build (speakers) to order.

I would think the 15-20k range would be the limit;but I have never heard a 20k pair of speakers; sure would be fun to listen though.
I would like to hear the big soundlabs that Dr.West has out now; I have m2's and think they are excellant.
