Ok. With only $20K that leaves me with a pair of tin cans for the speakers then.
Oh well......
maybe I'll just stick with headphones.

With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
09-27-15: Rodman99999Funny how this thread was revived almost 5 years to the day after the last post in 2010. Between the rave review in The Absolute Sound and a look at the technology, there may be a new contender at $15K that would compete with the 6-figure big boys--the Bob Carver Amazing Line Source. You could pocket $5K for cables and room treatment, or some nice listening chairs. I'd certainly love to hear them anyway. Bob Carver Corp. was bought by Jade (owner of Emotiva) in 2013, so I don't know if their products are stil made in Snohomish, Washington. If so, and if they have a factory showroom, maybe I could realistically audition them. |
09-30-15: Bill_kGlad to hear that. I've heard both the Wilson Alexandria MkII and the XLF. For less than 1/13 the price of the XLF, I'd sure like to see what the Amazing Line Source can do. Sounds to me like it would be on the short list for massive symphonies, oratorias, cantatas, opera, and at the other end, vocal solos and ensembles. The thought of a speaker having the headroom to deliver distortion-free 120 dB crescendos really grabs my attention. |
