Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor?


I have been contemplating some new speakers - I have Wilson Sasha 1's which sound fantastic, but the highs can be screechy on some songs.  I listen to rock, alternative, punk at concert volumes.  I am looking at the Sasha DAW's and ??  I just heard the Alexia V's - they are what I want, but they come with a $70K price tag - just too much - man did they sound absolutely stunning - I think they are THE BEST Wilson's in the entire line - if anyone has that kind of cash you should go hear them - stunning.    I wanted to consider the PS Audio FR30's (which I have not heard) before I made a final decision, and was going to Boulder to hear the FR30's, but PS mandates that you have to be vaccinated and boosted - my doctor said don't get the booster - PS can do whatever they want - but I draw the line on my health - so that one is out (I have their DAC and support has been great).  One of the reasons I liked the FR30 is the ribbon tweeter tech which I perceive might be good in that speaker - I find them pretty smooth (have heard similar tech in the Martin Logan stuff - and they are smooth indeed).   Not a fan of Magico, Sonus Faber or Elac - in my view and for my taste - they are not musical.  Looking for floor standers.  Thanking you all for your speaker input.

Not sure if they qualify as being close enough in price to the Sasha DAWs, but the Vandersteen Kento Carbons are very good at around $40k new -- and I think someone has some listed at around $30K demos.  (No affiliation).  With the ability to fine-tune the base to your room, time-aligned design (parallel to Wilsons), and an easy load to drive due to their internal powered subwoofers, they might just be what you're looking for.  

Happy listening,

OP- I posted an extensive journey on WBF in this price range with write-up on all of them. Much spirited debate on my journey, check it out and PM me for specific questions.

What would be helpful is if you posted your 3 top criteria in a speaker - none are perfect and most excel in different ways. Unfortunately most people on this site just post what they own rather than solve your situation.

 

 

@keithr WBF?  Might you have a link kind sir?  The people on the site have given me some names to go check out / some I have eliminated / some I have not paid attention to / some I want to find still.    At this point, if money was not object - I think it would be the Alexia V, but since money is a major consideration, I want to hear everything that could fit in this dynamic speaker range.  I have heard some sub $5000 speakers that sound better than some of the ones on this list (Wharfedale EVO 4.4 / Martin Logan 60xti with the right power), I am not sure $$ = good speakers.  The DAW will have to stand until something kicks it to the curb.
