Picking Speakers 20k-30k

@firstonetallguy I built a database of the following (mostly to just share with audiophiles and help my understanding)

most (90%) audiophile speaker companies in Europe and North America, with all the company info - about 90 companies

their cheapest and most expensive speakers with all the technical data

their speakers in 2-4K range

overall about 200 models

my plan is for the next step is to add the 6 to 9K models. I think that’s the next best level, where their products "peak". I may add a 20K range (16-20). Over that, I really don’t care/understand the difference.

It’s been a fun project with a lot of little "secrets" exposed.

My last step is to put it up on the web in a few searchable tables

@gordon 

I just called my dealer and holy cow you are right ! 38k for the Atria ii and 48k for the Avior ii! I love my Avior ii but how can Rockport increase that much in 2 years? Geez. 

@ronboco @gordon 

just curious, did they just "update" the price, or they changed the speakers too?

@grislybutter 

I’m not sure if there are improvements made to the speakers. I’m going to my dealer on Saturday and will ask.

Thanks @ronboco 

I was hoping to replace my 11 year Wilson Benesch Vectors with something American (thus saving on extra cost to import) in the $20-30k range, but the prices are rising so fast that something in that price range is a side step.
