howdy usery! I'm kind of in the same search mode and owning the original Boxers myself. I've had them for over 5yrs, the longest I've ever owned a speaker. my room is 20' x 20' with 10 ft ceilings. I also have a Rythmik L12 sub and drive them with a Primare i30 integrated. not that I don't like the Boxers its just I would like to try something different. anyway let us know what ya decide on.
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!

The Osborn Eos Reference Elite uses the best of the best drivers. These are fantastic speakers and with the Aussie dollar now only US 68cents a complete bargain and well under US $5000.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&... |
"...in the same search mode and owning the original Boxers myself."r-man: still researching. List narrowed to Fritz, Salk and the odd pre-own 'bigger-name'. I was way wrong on room dimensions in the OP: actually ˜2500cf w/ high ceilings so that opens the field a bit, so to speak. I too really like the Boxers v1's - they'll be moved to master bedroom and paired with single REL R-328 sub. A question I keep coming back to: within my spec will whatever replaces the Boxer be significantly 'better'? It's a rhetorical question. "...Osborn Eos Reference Elite"jtgof: these are intriguing. If price on their website is AUD it works out to under $2800 USD. Of course, availability anbd/or ship-to in USA is a question as is warranty service should anything go wrong. <= probly low likelihood. |
Totem One used to be good, now there is Signature One. https://totemacoustic.com/product/signature-one/ |

Osborn make really good sounding speakers.That price is unbelievably good for the quality of components.Clearly Osborn operate on very low profit margins.They exhibit every year at the Melbourne Hi Fi Show and usually have the best or in the top few best sounding rooms. |
