Speaker of My House…!

Beauty is “in the eye of the beholder” but as someone previously mentioned, moving around speakers of that size & quality once properly set up is not something that’s seems too realistic. They’re not likely going to weigh less 100 lbs & be less than 4’ x 1’ x1’ & w/ an easily damaged finish. 
 

Of course speakers & their sound are a matter of personal taste & most of the speakers mentioned that I’ve heard sound like good “hifi”but not like live music which is what I prefer. I’ve found that lower efficiency speakers, regardless of the heroic amps they’re paired, rarely if ever sound live to me.  They don’t have the dynamics, micro & macro, they live music has & you can instantly know it’s live. 
 

Some of the speakers I’ve heard & really enjoyed are: Legacy, some Bigger JBL’s, Avantgarde, Volti Audio, Acapella, Tannoy. 
 

Best of luck & I hope it doesn’t take 15 attempts to find your new “speaker of the house”!

Wilson all the way!  Sasha or I bet you can get a great price on a pair of Wilson Alexia II that are previously owned via a dealer with a great warranty.  I have Alexia I’s with the Arc160S and the Ref6SE. Love, love, love the combination and sound. 
 

good luck and let us know how you make out!!

I have not seen or heard these speakers. I don’t judge anything by you tube videos, but uncharacteristically, somehow, the sound of these new Qualio speakers came through, especially on the first Patricia Barber tune. I have to say that although they are not your standard box look, I think their form and color would work well in your room.  The 9.5" woofer puts out some serious sounding bass.

@jomonhifi you seem extremely fortunate that you can hear all those speakers, where are you located? My guess is CA

@rsf507 I live in Miami…. I have one dealer that is a 15 min walk from my house, very dangerous and a dealer about 90 mins away….
