High value, giant killer speakers?

+1 for Voxativ since the OP is going up to $10K.  Their point source drivers paired with a SET amp create a special sound that I enjoy more than anything I have ever heard, your mileage may vary.   I listened to all the usual suspects (Raidho, Magico, YG, Wilson, etc.).  Good speakers but they couldn't match the quality of the sound.

Soundsrealaudio,   thanks for the recommendation.i found my baby's right used on the net for close to the price we're at here but many of us aren't interested in dsp's

Wilson Audio Sasha DAWs vs anything!

Magnepan are my absolute favorite for the money.  I just upgraded from 1.7i to 3.7i and couldn’t be happier! The sound is really hard to believe. Unfortunately, unless you have a truly powerful good quality amp, you will be very disappointed.  My best friend just received his new LRS Magnepans but is running them with a NAD M32 and the amp just won’t power them.  

Hifihandyman - you hit the nail on the head - Maggie’s need power to open up and perform well! Once you pour on the power they outshine speakers that cost 10X and above. That financial savings gets you a lot of quality sound if you spend it on a good preamp and amp - Maggie’s are not efficient, but if you pour on the power,  OMG. In my opinion!!

Happy listening
