What speakers for 10k?

Sorry for the dupe post; when the first one hadn't appeared after ~16 hrs I thought it had been lost.

If your in a hurry for speakers maybe Vapor Speakers are not the best option for you. Every speaker is made to order, production times can get delayed etc.. The Cirrus and other speakers can take 6 months or longer. I know the Breeze and Stiff Breeze are pretty fast turn around times at 4 weeks. With a small custom factory there is a chance for delays, but there is a big payoff if your patient. You may get your speakers in the exact allocated time of 30 days. If your going to upset if the target shipping date is delayed by a week or two or three, buy from one of the thousands of manufacturers that can ship out your new speakers to you within days. Or buy used.

Yeah, Toddnkaya is right. What Vapor offers are built-to-order speakers for the most part (occasionally you may find pairs that were built to be used at shows). And that gives you the opportunity to customize them in some way if you so choose (exotic, expensive capacitors, different finishes etc). But if waiting is a no-go for you, your Vapor options will likely be quite limited.

For me, I'm willing to wait for an end game speaker, whether that means enduring a long build time, or waiting for a used pair of speakers I am interesed in to come up for sale used at a price I can afford.

The new KEF Reference 3 looks interesting and promising. Why not PMC Fact 8 or twenty.26? Try to audition these at a dealer and see if you like them.

Yeah maybe you're right about the wait, I'm in no big hurry anyway. how do the breeze or the stiff breeze do with music like tool nine inch nails avenged sevenfold? I would think the stiff breeze would handle that type of music better than the breeze would?
