HELP Best speakers btw 1000$ and 3000$. Real tests

Those tekton lore s's are $1300 per pair, or $2600 per pair? Those and the vapor audio's look saweeet!

I second the tekton recommendation and will also throw the Gallo Classicos into the suggetsion pile. Both companys make great speakers that are excellent calue. And both have in-home trial periods. Why not avail yourself of these options?

wow thanks guy for the swift replies... i'm gonna check all of those..

I'm not interested in big bass extension but the best sound from 50hz to 30hz hehehe :)

low to midbass + midrange resolution are what is the more important for me.. while highfreq is also important..

of course 3d imaging, good soundstage, transparent, good crossover parts, etc...

I was also interested in the king sound princess II (electrostatic tweet)

I was interested in the gallo classico too seem nice..

I'll look into the Fritz,tekton,vapor audio, Vandersteen model 2

anybody compared any model in those listing in this post or some better for the same price?

The problem i see with most speakers is the crossover in the midrange... don't you feel this way too???

Anybody know a good speakers that is time and phase aligned??? I guess KEF LS50 would be one

at least, i think that with crossover points at 250hz and 7.5hz, phase and time alignement will be less important...

i guess the 250hz is still important tho.. if it's not time aligned and phase coherant (the lft-16a phase accuracy spec is

+-20 degree btw 100Hz-31kHz
------

those speakers will be use mostly for nearfield.. my room will be well padded and its something like 5meters by 10meters but i don't mind if it doesn't fill the room... line source would be better anyway if i wanted to fill the room.. (something like mmmicroone with MTM would be awesome too)

anybody have heard about the musical paradise dacs and amps??? the 500 with KT120 seems to be the bomb.. most amp with kt120 are sold for a lot more $$ ..

Sinae,
With the caveat that people in threads like this will tend, naturally, to recommend what they own or have owned, if you're interested in the coherence of time/phase aligned speakers, look into either the Reference 3A Dulcet or De Capo. Used, either one should fit into your price range. New, you could swing the Dulcet. I've owned both and they are very sweet. Both are essentially "crossoverless" designs, with only a capacitor to protect the tweeter, and both have mirror imaged pairs and slanted front baffles to aid in time coherence. Worth a listen. There's also the Green Mountain Audio Rio II.

thx rebbi, ill check those out too.. your really sure they are phase aligned?
