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.

Where do you get beethoven grands for 2k? An inquiring mind wants to know. Thanks
The Beethoven's are on ebay and have been for a while, and the price is actually 2750, local pickup only up near Chicago. Not sure why seller wont ship? he has all original boxes.
The Beethoven Concert Grands have been around since 2005. To my knowledge they're passed through three "versions" over these ten years. You gotta wonder how old the ones on ebay are.
Twoleftears,

The Liszt w/ AX5 sounds like a happily ever after pairing...beautiful. The higher bandwidth of both is an essential element not common with less expensive gear. Which was part of my concern with BCG's and their limited dynamic capabilities...in absolute terms.
Without the possibility of extending harmonics well out of the typical "audibility band", the possibility for un-strained, believable dynamics that holds the sonic picture together under load will be compromised. Which drives a key element again with the GT's which have an even higher frequency extension than the Listz.
I think they will sound fine with the equipment you have, but will just be a sideways move.

When you really get down to it, if you like fooling around with equipment, do you really want to get to an "end of game" speaker?

I think I am there, in that I do not plan to upgrade my speakers any further, but occasionally I still have lust in my heart for other speakers, so who knows? I may buy another pair of speakers after all.

I hope your Wavetouch works out for you, but keep having fun changing equipment as long as you are enjoying it.

Best Regards,

Jim Perry
