$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.

f you're looking to spend around $15K on a pair of floorstanders, I'd strongly suggest giving the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III a serious look. They hit a sweet spot between beautiful craftsmanship and genuinely musical performance. Not just warm and rich — they’re also detailed and dynamic without ever getting fatiguing. Great for long listening sessions and especially strong with acoustic, jazz, and classical, but they hold their own with more modern stuff too. I’ve heard them paired with McIntosh gear and it’s an insanely good match. The synergy between the two brands just works — smooth, full-bodied, and immersive. If you want a speaker that feels like a long-term piece of furniture and a performance upgrade, the Nova III is hard to beat. |
@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
