The Celesta is supposed to be very good indeed, but it's way above the OP's budget.
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!

wrt sealed 2-way box I just finished auditioning the ATC SCM19 v2 at local dealer. Power was via Naim's NAP 500 DR ($34,995!) ... which dealer rep thought was only 90w/channel but I've since discovered is 140W/channel, 8Ω. The ATC's sounded very good across all my genres - a significant step up from my Nola Boxer v1. Given the SCM19's power-liking reputation I do wonder how well they'd perform with my Micromega M-100 at 100W/channel, 8Ω. |
My Atc SCM7 were ghe most power hungry speakers I’ve ever had. I do think Atc’s need lots of quality current. You’ve got one heck of a list going there. All excellent choices. I think what it really is going to come down to is which speaker will sound best with your equipment, music preferences and what you value most in a speaker. I’d stop your list now and start figuring out what speaker is going to compliment your front end and listening tastes! Keep us posted and enjoy!! |
Though I have not yet heard them, I have on multiple occasions seen them referred to as the best standmounts by those who have heard them, the Trenner & Friedl Art: https://www.trenner-friedl.com/index.php?menu=product&sprache=en&second=art Another great speaker, in that price range, is a used pair of Focal Sopra 1. |
