Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice


Hello All: Many of us have limited access/ability to audition multiple speakers brands. That got me to thinking- If one had a budget of $20K max, a solid state amp rated at 125WPC, and listened to all varieties of music (primarily rock, pop, folk), what speaker(s) would you be most willing to recommend to that person and feel confident they would be happy with the purchase?

Let's assume no road trip. What I was trying to get to is the speaker that you or others think are a "crowd pleaser" (for lack of a better term)....

I can't picture a trip to NY for a "few days" including airfare, hotel, transportation and food for under 5 K.

Would certainly be nicer for 5k but if your goal was to audition speakers, totally unnecessary 

 

jl35: Aren’t the speakers themselves unnecessary?  Logic tells me that most able to spend 20K on a pair of speakers would likely be traveling first class, staying at a 4–5-star hotel and eating in nice restaurants, not including drinks and entertainment. Not to sound snobbish, but I know I would.
