  3. 119689-6600

What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why?

I'm closer to the 20,000 part, but if I get stretched i would like to know higher recommendations. Remember, this is on the used market - not retail. I'm even interested if you think I should make a huge jump (say to 50,000), but I want to know what justifies that jump. I'd like the best bang for the buck and even the worse bang for the buck. Are there speaker lines that are totally overlooked that sound wonderful in this price range that I need to be exposed to? I may go higher, but lets start there.

PS Let's just assume the upstream equipment is adequate to drive any recommended speaker. We are not limited by upstream components.

Regarding the Linkwitz speakers... even after hearing the various YouTube videos of them... I was a bit of a skeptic... until... I got my Orions driven by a good set up.

Now... I'm a believer!  

There are very few speakers that can match them (Orions or LX521s) - they do it all... as well as it can be done.

Sonus Faber Stradavari. They do not come up often but when they do they are often in the mid to low 20's. They are a wide format, so you need some room for them. Glorious, from the old Sonus Faber line. But, then again, I am an old Sonus Faber junkie.

For 22k New the Charney Audio Concerto is a must listen!

If you live in the Greater NY, NJ area it is well worth the time to stop in for a listen.

Just make SURE you buy from a reputable dealer .
There are a lot of sharks on here who sell one thing and deliver another.

None, I already have the BEST; Golden Ear Triton two's, powered with a McIntosh 7270.
I would get something else like a Panamax 5400 surge protection, new turntable, Oppo 4K Blue Ray player and a few other toys.
Maybe some Audioquest Vodka HDMI cables......
I have FUN with my system.
