Must Hear Speakers in $10K range


Looking for ideas, but imaging and soundstaging is important to me as well as good low end response.

The Revel Ultima Salon2 are currently listed for $12,500 on Audiogon. They are $22,000 retail. With a little negotiation, you might be able to get to your $10,000 price range. They have been listed for over 30 days. I have no affiliation to the seller. I personally own these speakers and they sound absolutely amazing!

You aren’t going to find speakers that image and soundstage better than the Salk SoundScapes for $10K. They also have tight flat bass to 22Hz or so. They are about as clean and transparent a speaker as I have heard for any price. As with all Accuton based speakers, they aren’t a warm speaker though. With a tube preamp and running them in the open baffle mode they can warm up. As with any speaker, I recommend hearing them first!
