What speakers for 10k?


Looking to buy the end of game speakers, currently I have Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand. My amp is the Parasound a21 with the Parasound p5 pre amp, Marantz sa8001 sacd and the Marantz sr5001 avr, psa xs15se sub. My budget is 5 to 10k on main speaker upgrade.

Yep. Hard to beat finding a bargain price on a great speaker AND being able to sell your current one right away.

Several years ago I scored on a new (floor model) pair of Mirage M5si's on closeout at half price ($1K). I was able to turn around and sell my ADS L1090 ii's immediately for $675. Out of pocket for a dramatic upgrade to a $2K speaker: $325.

I still have those Mirages. They're the L-R anchors of my 7.2 HT system.
Ah, I see now, the Concert Grands should be great, too, and at a very nice price! Good luck! Let us know how that turns out. Regards. John
Mirage shouldn't have discontinued the M series. They were great speakers.
Hey Jh,

Of the 40 days offered by WT you'll not need the remaining 39 days and 20 hrs.

The Mozarts would be destroyed tonally, harmonically and dynamically (especially by the GT SE's)... in every way.

The three areas that would be of concern to me with the Beethoven's also are the limited bandwidth (ultra sonics matter), lowish efficiency for a 4 ohm speaker (the higher the efficiency when driving a 4 ohm load the easier the amp works which produces a more relaxed, effortless sound... especially when pushed). Leading to the third issue with VA Beethoven's... that is common knowledge that when you push VA hard they crumble.

As I've said, great specs don't guarantee great sound but without great specs the potential isn't there.

GT's go out beyond 27K, efficiency @ 94db...

Also, anybody that tries to challenge Wavetouch Audio's INTEGRITY and credibility (zd542 "lol") is baseless...and meaningless to this or any other thread. Look at the "reviews" page on his website and be overwhelmed by the many grateful and satisfied customers. And when you're done there after many hours check his feedback on this website.
