The ATC SCM-19 is only $4000. It is in the wrong tier.
Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price)
The aim of this thread is to create a list of speakers that people enjoy and recommend and to organise the speakers into a list based on their MSRP. Please recommend speakers that you have personally heard or own and enjoy. I will add the names of the users who recommend a speaker next to the speaker name (and if someone already recommended the speaker you had in mind please feel free to recommend it again because I will add your name as well).
Please feel free to include gear that was used to listen to your recommendation and some impressions (although you do not have to).
This list may be useful to new buyers to get a general sense of popular models to help guide what to audition during the purchase process.

@Smod: The list is growing rapidly as predicted by a few posters. As it does its value may be waning, since if it only takes one mention to make the list. Perhaps there should be a similar list that includes only those speakers mentioned (or confirmed) by a certain number of members... maybe 5 or 10. Multiple lists could be maintained (I'm generous with your time, aren't I?), but they would carry different weights. Just a thought, because I do think there's a valuable purpose here. |
@keegiam yup I am happy to do multiple lists. I don't see this list growing as making it more useless... its simply initial data collection. Eventually what will emerge are more popular options where some speakers have several votes and emerge as favorites. Again this doesn't mean they are 'better' simply that they may be worth listening to yourself. Perhaps as you say we can do a list in the future of the speakers with most recommendations per category.
