Another vote here for Tekton Impact Monitors. I auditioned numerous stand mounts over the course of a year for my secondary system (B&W, Rogers LS35a, ELAC, Hsu, Goldenear, SVS, and more), and the IMs were in a league well above all the the others. In fact, they ended up in my primary system as my main speakers (with a pair of Goldenear subs). Buy the IMs and save yourself $3,000 -- which you can use for exotic cables! ;)
Standmount speakers. I have $5000.
I'm shopping standmount speakers. I have $5000. New or pre-owned is fine.
And:
Micromega M100 integrated pre/amp/dac
Syzygy SLF870 sub x2 (12" drivers, 1200w ea, 20-200Hz, room correction)
Dynaudio Stand 4
room = ~5000 cu. ft, 20'x 18' with 13'-17' vaulted ceiling
The new standmounts will replace Nola Boxers v1 ($1500 new in 2013)
I'm lazy about travel to audition anything but might for local options (esp. to vet pre-owned). I'd probly deal with in-home trial.
As semi-arbitrary starting point I'm looking at Salk SS 7M's ($4995 new). Any others I simply must consider?
Thanks!
