Short List of speaker Upgrade


Seeking a full range speaker to replace my current speaker and my three choices are as follows:

1. Pro-AC K3-is this a 2 way or three way speaker? I have seen it mentioned on the internet as both. How do I know for sure whether it is 2 way or 3 way?

2. Totem-Elemental Metal V2-assume 3 way

3. Triangle Cello-assume 3 way

All are about $18,000.00 retail. 

Has anybody heard any of the three?    

Thanks in advance for your input.

My dealer sells all three brands so I would like to stay with him as his knowledge and service are impeccable.

Completely agree that if you are going to spend this kind of cash on a pair of speakers your dealer should be perfectly willing to let you try each model in your personal space, using your own equipment, and likely test each one for several days so you can make an informed decision. All of these speakers will be outstanding pieces of engineering, but in their own way, so you will need to test them all and see what you like best. That's it, nothing more. For that kind of money, it's all up to you to decide what you like, and not be influenced by opinions on a message board. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

Generally speaking, each brand usually has a house sound. So if your dealer has the speakers to demo,  it’s best to demo for yourself to find the sonics that subjectively resonates with you.  If you demo, best to bring  your own CDs/vinyl to hear differences 

Yup, you should really try to listen to each set, very minimum in a dealer showroom situation but ideally in your own home. That's really the only way to be sure. All likely great speakers in their own ways but hard to say which one is best for you without trying them out.

Given your equipment... mostly a bit on the detailed / anaytical side. I would definitely listen to the Sonus Faber Olympica (@Stanleyock2 +1) as well as the Totem they will move the sound more towards the natural side. Assuming that is what you want.
