$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.

@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?

Take a look at the Volti speakers, like the Lucera, which are bulky, nice looking, and quite easy to drive.  They have a warm tonal balance and sound quite lively.  While they look like a plain box, the construction and finish of Volti speakers is first rate.
