Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker?

B&W 805 D4 signature. The spiffy finishes should please the wife. I think I saw a pair listed today for about $10k.

For a big sound - neutral, high resolution - respectable bass: the TAD ME1.

For a more intimate sound - textured but limited bass: Wilson Audio Tunetot.

Joseph Audio Pulsar.  

I demoed the TAD ME1 a couple of times when I was thinking of a bookshelf. I had a similar bookshelf list. The TAD uses beryllium, which is very detailed, but you need a bit of warmth to the system for beryllium. I liked the ME1 over the others on the OP's list. However, TAD bothered me when they dropped the price to $10k and then a month or 2 later went back to the $15k (with stands) price.

If I were to get another bookshelf it would be the Yamaha NS3000. I own the NS5000 "bookshelf" and the very detailed drivers on that are preferred over beryllium. Only issue is that if you are in the USA you need to buy from Canada.
