What speakers for 10k?

The Crescendos that are listed for sale on this site would be a steal and it's a fantastic loudspeaker...

Ask anybody with a pair of Joules how they sound. He does in fact use a different crossover and tweeter in that application when he incorporates the transmission line cabinet. Other differences as well but I would leave the details up to Ryan to explain. He can also modify existing Cirrus or Breeze and keep the tweeter the same. He recently did this to a pair of Cirrus for a customer with great success.

That's why I said "Breeze based Joules". I have discussed upgrading my Breeze like this with Ryan and really hope to do so in the future.

You also need to check out NOLA KO's which I believe list right at your $10k price. As much as I admire Vapor's philosophy and approach, unless your priority is the deepest bass the NOLA's beat any Vapor model IMO. Of course, like two others here, if I were you I'd grab the used AZ Crescendos offered for $7500 without a second thought.

You should also seriously consider the NOLA KO's which I think list for $10k; except for the deepest bass they clearer beat any of the Vapor models IMHO. Of course, like a couple of other posters here I would grab those used AZ Crescendos without a second thought.

I'm not so sure about vapor audio? I month to get speakers?
