If money was and was not of any concern when buying speakers.

Money no concern: I’d probably second the choice of Living Voice’s Vox Olympian & Elysian, given the listening room can accommodate them properly - which hopefully wouldn’t be an issue with monetary carte blanche. Battery-driven amps and source, of course.

Money a concern/practical consideration: what I got now - Simon Mears Audio Uccello. Only "tweak" I’d consider here would be, sometime in the future, adding a horn sub (LAB’s or otherwise). That, to me, would be the budget version of above, and as is (i.e.: without sub) is richly rewarding already.

Financially out-of-reach as is, the "in-between" alternative of interest: Sadurni Acoustic's Staccato.

  Focal Grande Utopia EM's if money was no concern.
   
  Since money is a concern, I've owned Focal 836v for 5 years now.   Love the mids and highs.    Now that I'm totally out of debt, I am perusing some new stuff, but don't see much stomping these, unless I spend $5k or more.   I am considering the electra range, but hard to find demos.     

if money was no concern: B&W Nautilus, because I've heard them play several times at fairs, with different sources and rigs, and they were always the best sound of the year (to my ears and my taste, obviously).

if money was concern, well, the speakers I own now: B&W 804s and I hope 804D in the future.

in the middle (more than I can afford, but not so much more):
B&W802D3 or, changing completely sound, Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution.

and yes, as the smartest of you may have guessed, I like B&W sound :D

"If money were my concern..."

The best value in hi-end audio today is doing a Linkwitz LX521 project. Nothing else comes close. They perform in the same league with the $30k+ systems and you can do an LX521 project for less than $5k and that includes amplification.

But if you’re lazy, like most readers here and just want to buy something, even at $16k or so from magiclx521, they’re still a great value. You can drop $30k on a loudspeaker and still have to drop another $10k on an amp (because you can’t spend that much on a loudspeaker and not spend that much on an amp...).

A little bit different. The rest of the money to help house and feed people in need.
