What speakers for 10k?


Looking to buy the end of game speakers, currently I have Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand. My amp is the Parasound a21 with the Parasound p5 pre amp, Marantz sa8001 sacd and the Marantz sr5001 avr, psa xs15se sub. My budget is 5 to 10k on main speaker upgrade.

Jughead, I bet they will look good in black and after doing more research on the internet I really think without a doubt you made the better choice.
zd542, actually I was talking about the Chicago Cubs trying to change the subject. no disrespect was intended. Yeah bam wavetouch sent pictures of the speaker in high gloss black which they had to dye the wood to get them that way, and they look much better than the light wood color. with my set up the light color would've stuck out like a sore thumb!
94db Sensitive? If the Wavetouch is 94db sensitive, I'm a Chinese Jet Pilot. Spoiler alert, I'm not a Chinese Jet Pilot.

Why do you guys buy into flat out BS like a small 2-way monitor using a 90-91db sensitive woofer can somehow be 94db sensitive? Baffle step eats up 3db at least, so at best those are 88db sensitive speakers. And 4ohm to boot, so they're only 85db efficient.

There are only 3 possibilities why a manufacturer would list those as 94db sensitive.
- They don't have a clue about design, and don't realize they're wrong
- They think you're too dumb to know it's BS, and choose to knowingly lie
- They have invented an orb of alternate physics which surrounds the speakers, allowing them operate outside the laws which rule all other speakers on the planet

Customers refusing to educate themselves about the product they're purchasing is all that allows manufacturers to get away with these types of decpetion.

The audio world in general is bs isn't it? with the offer of snake oil. put these 2k isolators under your speakers and bass will tighten, voices will be crisp. a battery pack on a speaker cable sound familiar? it must work people spend 10k on this wonderful new tech. I think these shitty little monitors I bought are going to be fine, and if not I return them for a full no questions asked refund.
