$15,000 Floor-Standing Speaker Selection and Advice

@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

Sonner and spend the other $5K on music and room treatments. https://twitteringmachines.com/review-sonner-audio-legato-duo-floorstanding-loudspeakers/

@oster-sc-arkansas Sonus Faber line is strong candidate at this stage. For my ears they sound very smooth, dynamic and tight controlled bass slam. 

Thanks.

@hifiworld2024 I will add one thing that is sort of interesting. I sold a pair of Sonnetto VIII to a guy the other day and one thing that i hadn't noticed before was the little specks on the midrange driver. Doesn't effect the sound at all because it is a pattern that is on it. Just a piece of unique information to go off of. Not sure if you are a no grilles or grilles type of man. 

What sound characteristics are you looking for, what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used, and where are you located?
