Lots of fine suggestions! I have a couple as well, Wilson Audio (used, so someone else eats the depreciation) and the Joseph Audio Pearls. I haven't hear the Pearls, but I am a big fan of the JA sound. I have Wilson Sabrina X's right now, but at your price range, might as well go for some big boys that would have really flipped your wife off, LOL! My wife, on the other hand, supports my little hobby and likes my Sabrina X's. If I had a bigger music room, I would have gotten the Wilson Sasha DAW's. It is also important to have balance. Luxman makes a good integrated, of course, but with that kind of budget, I would spend a little less on the speakers and get next level electronics as well. And don't forget the DAC . . an MSB Premier would be nice. And there goes the $100,000 . . . Just like that!
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!
