$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.

All of them you’d need. a subwoofer to supplement them as they’re not true 20Hz to 20kHz

 

And of all the speakers I recommend the Perlisten. Their directivity is the more controlled of the lot and that makes for easier coupling with your room as that is the most important step in your setup. Room/speaker coupling @hifiworld2024 

 

Add this subwoofer and you're good to go - https://www.powersoundaudio.com/collections/subwoofers/products/s21-ipal-m-new

 

Get without the Anti Model EQ

@hifiworld2024 oh if you have a subwoofer already then yes get the Perlisten and you're good to go.

 

The A21+ is incredible too so I think you're set in that section

 

Also yes Electrostatic speakers are akin to headphones... I'd rather headphones than such a Lazer focused dispersion pattern. No thank you on that.

 

And I'd rather you push the Perlisten as close to your front wall as possible before bending your speaker cables. Their roll off rate makes them front wall friendly. Do that so the integration with your subwoofer is fine
