Alternative Speaker Suggestions Wanted


I fell in love with Burmester's B80 Loudspeakers at the last CES show, the trouble is they are way out of my budget. I'm looking for alternative speakers that might sound similar for under 10k any suggestions would be great.

TIA

Joe - Some interesting observations. I didn't know about Burmester's new B30. I will stop by my local dealer and take a listen when I get a chance. I have heard the Soulution electronics and the Magico M5's, but not together. It must have been glorious. If I sell my house, I could (possibly) afford it. Wadia's 170iTransport is an interesting product, though I couldn't see myself ever buying one, even though I have 2 iPods. I was interested to hear about the Monitor Audio PL200. I have not had a chance to hear that line from MA, but I'm not that surprised by your reaction, as I have never been a big fan of their products. Thanks for the update.

BTW, have you made a decision about what new speakers you are going with?
I'm think I'm going to save a few extra dollars and go with the B30. To me they seemed like a bargain. Plus I want them to double in a home theater as well and theres a matching center.
