@eganmedia I completely agree with you, i care much more about the sound quality than the fancy look.That's why i'm also looking at brands like ATC and Spectral audio.
For that kind of money you could get the monitor audio platinum 500 ll for $30,000 brand new and those speakers will beat speakers that are three or four times the price. Check them out.
Another vote for whichever Focal Utopias fit your room. I have the Stellas myself, the EM bass is just effortless, even in my difficult room (concrete floor, patio windows behind speakers)
Amplification? Has to be Boulder. Truly a marriage made in heaven. So rich, textured and authoritative. But above all, musical. This combination is truly on the side of the performer - producer
