Any Estelon dealers would be happy to show you their high-end speakers and accept your 100k$ paiement.
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
So, I am getting rid of the wife (divorce, I am not burying her in the backyard!) and can now get big floor standing speakers. I currently have a Luxman integrated and model 30 Harbeth speakers, and a very good sub. Very neutral/natural sound, can listen for long sessions. But I don't get a very good image, and it seems a little too laid back. I listen mainly to singer-song writers, both male and female. Lots of acoustic/piano.
There are so many floor standers now, I'd like to shorten the list. Any suggestions to start my search? I am located in southern CA, so I can listen to almost any brand. Price should be under $100K.
I may lose a wife, but so far the freedom/cash is worth it.
Thanks all!

@dandion based on the website, they would sure spend it lavishly |
+1 on Rockport Cygnus. Only available used now but they are a great well balanced speaker that purchased used is a great buy. I added a 6 pack of REL Carbon specials and they make quite a visual and sonic statement. These 8 speakers are within your budget. You need to find a wife like mine that said when I set up the six subs "I think they look very cool, and I hate to admit that they make a huge difference in the sound" The thing about Rockport Cygnus is that the sound is not flashy, but I never get fatigued by them like I did with my Sasha 2s, and they keep resolving further and further as I improve the signal feeding them. I will receive my custom made Townshend Podiums this weekend and will I'm sure resolve at even a greater level. What a great gift you are giving yourself post divorce! |
