$10K-15K short list?


Hi all,

I have a budget of $10K-$15K for a pair of full range towers. I am open to used or new.

What should be on my short list to audition or consider?

Currently have a Mcintosh amp/system.

soix,

Another JA Perspectives fan, I see.

I auditioned the Perspectives and they are on my (very, very short) list of speakers I'm considering as replacement for my Thiels 3.7s.
I just picked up a pair of Wilson Maxx 2s for $15k. They replaced a pair of series 1 Sophia's. The Maxx 2s are incredible. They are paired with a SS Macintosh amp. These are great keeper speakers.  
Dear Dhanks you have a lot of great choices both new and used in that price range.

It will all come down to a number of factors being how big is your room?

How loud do you play?

Music only ?

Is the speakers visual look important?

Size?

Sonic flavor

We have Kef Blade one demos for almost that price, as well as Dali Epicon 8 which are wonderful the Personas are incredible in terms of speed detail and imaging, the Dali are wonderful in terms of rich midrange with excellent detail. 

If you are on the East Coast look us up.

Well if you wanted to purchase some speakers that you would fall in love with, that are not made of cheap MDF, that don't have a soul sucking crossover, or notch filters, ( for the cabinet resonance ) that have the best signal to noise level of any cabinet speaker, that don't have fat flabby bass, that are fast and nimble, that image like crazy, that play loud and play soft, that are very engaging, that you can listen to long term without fatigue, that have a midrange the covers almost the entire midrange, the I would suggest the Wilson Beseech Vector.
