Soundstage and explosive dynamics?


I’m looking high and low for speakers with the following attributes:

1. Wide and deep soundstage. Speakers can disappear from the soundstage.
2. Decent imaging.
3. Explosive dynamics with force and surprise.
4. Costs less than $10k.

Consider your journey to capture that sound forever is now over.

For a fact, Supertramp went on tour with their own gear - custom speakers using ATC drivers (same as Pink Floyd on tour, Genesis ’78 Trick of the Tail tour). All you need do is find some large ATC speakers with 12 or 15 inch woofers. I believe 12 inch (PA75-314) was what Supertramp and others used. High explosive levels with ultra low distortion. The studio version of that driver is even higher performance.



mind that the attributions you are looking for are also very dependant on amp/preamp.

I can’t see anything outside these:
- Tannoy Legacy Arden, needs a good quality/decent power amp
- XTZ Divine Alpha, needs a powerful dynamic amp - absolutely gorgeous and capable speaker in that price range - equals the B&W 800D, but difficult to beat the Tannoy 15" DC driver for presence and soundstage
- Giving you away a great tip, and far bettering the two above; there is actually a pre-owned pair of Tannoy GRF90 - you cannot get any better for the price in my opinion, these will do everything to a very high level, and kick you in the face with dynamics and huge soundstage.
