Best speakers around $130k?


Go!

mjbishop99

at that level, $100k or $130k are competitive.  
 

Raidho has speakers at that price.  I believe the TD3.8s are about that price and are a great speaker.  
 

Wilson Benesch is in process of replacing the Cardinal.  I don’t have timing for when that speaker will be introduced.  At the moment, there is nothing between the $75-$85k resolutions and the $250k eminence.  

there is the flagship Vivid Giya G1 Spirit but it is not quite in that price class at $86k.

I am certain Marten has something in that range, not sure about exact model.  

I am sure Borresen has a speaker in that price range.  I would guess Magico, YG and Rockport have something in that range.  Not sure about exact model.  MBL definitely should be in your considered set.  Kharma and Tidal/Vimberg might also have an entry.  I am not sure exact models and pricing
 

that should give you a good list of brands to explore.  I am certain there are other but this should give you an adequate selection.  
 

I am a Raidho, Vivid and Wilson Benesch dealer which is why I know more about them than the others. 

 

 

 

 

Oh…and two other.  Avantgarde definitely drifts up over $100k or very close with the Trios and you could also look at the Audiovector R11s.

Discussion of speaker must include the entire set up, what is driving them, room set up, of which the variables are infinite.  My current room has Totem Element Metals driven by VTL pre and amp, set into the corner of a room…IMO, sounds fabulous with a huge stage, incredible depth, and voices are as if the singer were 12 feet in front of you.  Have never heard better even with set ups costing twice as much (over $100m).  My set up has multiple acoustic elements to limit sound bouncing around room. I also added a sub, primarily for vibe below about 50hz.  Virgil Fox sounds like he is playing in my room.

So, maybe most of the money needs to go into the room and set up… I am guessing to arrive at the final positioning my speakers were moved about thirty times, some moves being in the half inch variety.

and now, the real issue, age of listener, actual ability to hear differences, True confessions… will not disclose my age, but my daddy bought me my first Porsche in 1960…. LOL

Discussion of speaker must include the entire set up

But that could be boasting.  $100m = $100 million?

Wrong thread, dude.
