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
My vote (purchase) was for Raidho D-4.1s. Last Raidho model with pure Borresen DNA. They are beautiful and sound great with my wildly eclectic musical choices. I have Focal Utopias too, and while the Focal sound is really good, it can’t compete with the Raidho/Borresen speed.
