I'm trying to find the best speaker between $25000 and $40000 for symphonic music. I listen to other things too but that's my reference.. Interested in Wilson, B & W, Rockport, Canton
You're right if the system can play classical music well then it can easily play everything else!
The right choice of speaker also depends on your electronics and room. I'm not familiar with the Cantons but all other 3 manufacturers make fine speakers, the problem is that most of their speakers in theses price points are generally difficult loads to drive. Your amplifiers are an important part of the equation here.
Personally I would bypass them all and look at horns for speed and large scale dynamics but that also depends on your electronics.
Have you considered electrostatics? Way back in the 60's Mr. Walker of Quad recommended two pairs at right angles, but for my music room, 45 degrees is best, so I have two speakers at 45 degrees on each side.
