$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.

Most people respond with the ones they chose. Understandably. 

For me a listening tour was necessary- and buying the ones I loved best at the best deal possible. 

I have Magnepan 3.7s, Bryston T-10 Actives, and love them both after much auditioning. They are used for different kinds of music therefore 2 pair.

Now I "need" a Wilson Watt Puppy 50th Anniversary speakers. And I'm looking for them used. Understandably. 

Get what you heard and loved. Then make sure your listening room matches the room you auditioned in. 

BTW my Cousin is a Sonus dealer (among other great brands). I get them at his cost (40-50% off retail) I had a pair- loved the craftsmanship and the snob appeal but the sound was dull to my ear.  Just me. I like French vanilla ice cream.  Maybe you like rum raisin. Make your own ears happy. Nobody's opinion who doesn't pay for your system matters. Only you happiness with your music matters.
