Must Hear Speakers in $10K range

The Wilson-Benesch Curves are very nice but doesn't have a true midrange driver but very nice. The 3A are nice also.

They're not easy to audition and don't come up very often used, but PMC IB2i are exceptionally good. Worth looking into.

I think the easy to drive Coincident Technogy Super Victory II speakers at $10,000 are excellent speakers. They will play excellently in any rooms below 4,000 cubic feet. If you have a larger room, you may waqnt to consider the larger Coincident Technology Total Victory V's, but at a more robut $15,000/pr.

Well a 4th or is it 5th for Daedalus and the DA-RMa monitors give little away to the Ulysses in a much smaller package, well below $10000, including the Poly Crossovers. As I understand it, the very low direct from the manufacturers pricing, won't last forever.

I spent quite a while looking in the price range and only a few speakers got near to the Daedalus quality and driveabilty. You have to factor in that too. Watts cost money and you rarely hear a low output amp beaten for sound quality over a similarly priced 200watter.

The 2 others are really liked, the Devore Fidelity Gibbon 9 and Silverline Bolero. The latter is more than $10000 used now. I wanted to like the Coincident Victory, I just did'nt, maybe it was the audition system.

Well, it appears that you will have to listen to speakers from just about every manufacturer. Was it the kind of advice that you sought?
