I sometimes get the feeling many members like the "journey" more than the destination. For me the destination is the experience in and of the room acoustics, take care of that and the equipment "journey" is simple and direct.
Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ?
Having had many great speakers in the past ,but now semi retired what is the average price to get a quality speaker it seems around $15- $20k+. Is getting to be the norm , Wilson Sabrina x $20 k , Magic A3-$15 k , Marten Oscar trio $13 k
b&w 804 $15 k .I was maybe thinking , availability is now a very real problem also.I am a big MBL fan their entry level stand mount 126 ,is a true Best Buy ,it has the sameOmni directional Tweeter and Midrange , that are out of the reflections of a box , and dual apposing bass drivers ,that being said a pair ofsubs like theSVS 4000 SB brings this price to around $20 k . It’s becoming very expensive to have real refinedLoudspeakers , having had to rebuild Xovers in most Loudspeakers for their lack of parts quality ,it seems integrity is no longer the norm it’s more on profit . Please do offer your Loudspeaker options and how much more is truly needed to get a truly resolving speaker without taking out a mortgage.

Op, I think you need to be more clear on your budget. I think there are good speakers for lower prices but if you have $20k then you can choose from more models. I also like the MBL but they are not often for sale used. Other models I liked when I heard them were Fyne F703 and Focal Kanta 3. Boenicke.

What makes you think you have to spend any where near 15-20k? You can get a pair of Tannoy speakers for cheaper than that. To start, the Eatons, which I own, can be had for 6k. The stirlings for 8k....so on and so on....you cannot do much wrong with a pair of Tannoys. https://upscaleaudio.com/search?q=stirling&options%5Bprefix%5D=last
