Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium


Looking to upgrade from paradigm sigs8v2. Willing to buy new or used.  My room is 12x16x8 ft. Looking for floor standers. Trying to get away from beryllium in case of kids accidentally damage them.

Thanks.

I like the Sanders, Vandersteen, Legacy, Cube Audio, recommendations. All great, all different.

Also check into Genesis Audio, Maestro at the top of your price range.

And check out the Focal Kanta 3 at the bottom ($13,000) of your range.

Really detailed and dynamic...

NEVER MIND! 

They use Beryllium!
Used Wilson Yvettes will sell for 15-18k and satisfy in every way imo. I believe that’s it’s the best ‘value’ Wilson ever made and the most attractive. FWIW

With a multiple of 2 and close to a square room, I would suggest going asymmetrical. Then you can easily deal with the uneven bass response the room dealt you with the Analog Room compensation adjustments of the Vandersteen Kento or Quatro as the solid performance solution. Best, JohnnyR

My short list in that $ range would be: Vandersteen Quatro CT; Joseph Perspective; Vivid Kaya 45 or B1 Decade.
