$15,000 Floor-Standing Speaker Selection and Advice

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.  

@soix Thank you kindly for the speedy reply.

I will first note I am NOT an acoustic expert, so, I have limited knowledge in the field but per sound characteristics I am not sure as most speakers sound the same to me and for some reason Sonus Faber tickles my fancy. Out of all the speakers the SF sounds most pleasing and the bass response is wicked, and then there's Buchardt A700 WOW!!

My understanding is I need dynamics, agile bass, refined midrange clarity where you can hear the nuance in vocals and breaths.

I am located on planet earth, probably 1000s of kms from where you are but definitely from green earth. Lol.

Tah.

AS a Goldenear Triton reference speaker owner, I would suggest considering picking up a pair for @8K and if you want better sound consider upgrading the crossovers, internal wiring and binding posts for another 2.5K or so from humblehomemadehifi.com. See the What’s best forum for more information. These speakers are very highly regarded and a tremendous value at their current pricing. Best of luck to you.

How about Franco Serblin Accordo Essence Loudspeakers. I've heard these at Axpona and they checked all my boxes.
