$15,000 Floor-Standing Speaker Selection and Advice


As per title, have a budget of $15k to spend on new floor-standing speakers.

Was wondering your opinion and experiences within this price category if you done so before?

There are a tone of brands out there but I'd peoples first hand opinion and experience in the matter.

Examples are:
Perlisten Audio S7T
AudioSolution Figaro XL
Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII G2
Buchardt A700

What are some suggestions on good speakers to choose from at that price point?

Room is large 7m x 8m, so would need large speakers I assume.

Thanks for looking.

+1 Perlisten - they sounded fabulous at AXPONA 2025.  My taste runs to clear neutral like Magico and YG.  For their sonics, they seem underpriced.  They are non- editorizing neutral speakers.

Sonus Faber are more musical rather than neutral

For high efficiency speakers, I’d choose Volti Audio over Klipsch as being sonically superior and more neutral.  I own the Volti Rival for my foray into tube sonics including flea watt SET amplifiers 
 

@hifiworld2024 totally agree with your take on Parasound amps, great performance for the price. John Curl is a genius

…Aaah large stand-mount, they are nice.

There’s also Revival Audio Atalante 7 Evos….

Standmounts- in addition to my floorstanders, in my curiosity I’m very tempted to try standmounts like high value n sonics Fritz, Revival Audio, or maybe a Harbeth+ Hegel combo. The MBL 126 gives a large taste of it’s more expensive siblings.
