Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range

I don't know why Sonus Faber was not mention.

But it was a "BIG" WAF approval.  beside having a awesome sound.

at 10k get a Elipsa SE , at 20k get Stradivari ..  of course all pre-own pricing.

I've seen and auditioned two different nice condition used Stradivari for sale lately, and both were asking $30K or more.  BTW, both sounded awesome!

Indeed, Klipsch Jubilees...You’ll never go back, and your wife will never go back either…to your house. Note that speakers at this level (price) aren’t music specific, and neither are any other speakers for that matter…anybody who thinks speakers that can replicate orchestras are somehow not as adept at Death Metal needs to get out more. Sound dynamics aren’t style specific (there’s simply the ability to provide more or less of that sound). Also, if anybody is willing to spend 10 to 20 grand on speakers, that person should be willing to travel to hear them, which can be used as leverage for purchase, "Hey man…I came all the way from Cleveland to hear these damn things…1200 bucks off or I walk!" So to sum up, the Jubilees are great if you seek more alone time, but based on the specs you’re still gonna need subs and a decent divorce attorney.

You didn mention which amp you plan om using. This is very important when choosing a speaker.
DeVore Fidelity O/96 are often mentioned in this Price range but I think it works best with tubes.
