The best Standmount Loudspeaker $6k or under

I have just recently purchased the New Carbon 7-SE Loudspeaker.
It has several upgrades starting with a Very good quality Simple 1st order Xover using only 4 parts Total ,using 2 air core inductors,One Mundorf
Resistor,and one Clarity ESA capacitor. Sonic purity is there the 2 new drivers have an equal share in this .This Scan speak 6620 Illiminator
Tweeter is Very good with excellent detail and air,and very good even off axis. The New Mid- Bass dtiver is a special Carbon pulp cone 4-5 grams lightlySonus Faber uses this in their$20k Loudspeaker. It still has some richness in it's character but,it is noticably faster with a very balanced
Character low level detail as well as inner detail is very impressive.
Mid to low Bass is very addictive deep and articulate going down to
Under40 hz in room that is very impressive for a medium sized Loudspeaker.one big thing also it is about a 88 db load at 4 ohms and the load is so easy my brother 10 watt 300 B can operate with ease and
Good level. I have compared many commercial brands which are
$5k range or a bit more which 50% Cisco dealer markup.
Gor $2,500 these are a Very special Loudspeaker that I will do a full accessment once I get $250-300 hours on them.there are reviews coming
Out probably around Xmas I was told, and a Fritz is a great guy to do business with .he was happy to answer all my questions and shipping
Was included which is allways welcome.do your homework and compare
What the others have yo offer and find out just what's in their Xover
Most are joke thst is why they refuse to tell you,Highly Recommended.
P.s I am near the Ct,Ma boarder. I f you would may be in the area email me
And check em out.

Zoot45 thank you, I spent a solid month or more in my travels listenng
And having others stop by with their gear. This is a no Brainer.
This new simple High quality Xover is Seamless and very easy to drive.
Whst many guys online get hooked into is sometimes Heavy Brand name
Advertising.compare Apples to Apples hat us far wiser.
Who else will give you One of Scanspeaks top Tweeters $220 each
And MidBass driver latest Carbon Light version that too is slightly modified and matched for this king of Monies ? - No one . P.s I used to do mods
And 75 % of Big name companies uses cheap Solen capacitors and
Sand cast resistors and think it is ok. No it is Not ok with me . You can hear the better Xover parts in low level detail ,as well as image depth,and
Tone. Even at. $5k see how many others can approach equal quality.

It's funny that you spend 98% of your posts talking about the quality and cost of the parts and maybe 2% talking about the sound. Unfortunately, that's how most of you neurotic audiophile types buy things. I own a pair of Fritz single-driver speakers and I think they're really nice-sounding. I hope you like listening to all those resistors and caps. I hear the Carbon is a good speaker.

Was there a question in your post? If you had included a picture it would an advertisement, or a review. You are obviously happy with your purchase.

Audioman58, how would you say those Carbons sounded when you compared them to the Audio Vapor Cirrus and the Proac D2? When you did your comparison, were you listening to all 3 brands on the same exact equipment in the same room with the same source material?

The reason I Did not make a brief on the sound is because they are not Run in yet.that being said they are very detailed and invlolving Loudspeakers already.

Raal ribbon tweeters a number of very knowledgable builders say in the 4-5k range in the Raal tweeter is lacking in dynamics.very detailed and smooth but for rock
And roll no way. I owned one from Salk and they sounded good but
Too refined for my taste the Scanspeak Revelator has much meter vertical dispertion as well as dynamics. Proacs are pretty decent but for less money the new Fritz carbon 7 SE is a better engineered Loudspeaker.
And parts quality does matter ,that is why I mention them ,especially
Regarding Top range drivers.
