$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.

At that price point there are MANY great choices. It's such a bummer (to me) that it is so hard to demo many of them. I ended up demo'ing a few, including Magico. I ended up buying Raidho XT-2's several years ago. Knowing what I know now, I would have bought them on the used market. But they are fantastic. I would add to your list: Raidho Borresen Legacy I have not auditioned Legacy. And no knock on Magico, but I preferred the Raidho's. Personally I'd stay away from actives. Why? Because the Class D amplification used inside the speakers won't last nearly as long as passive speakers. My $2K sub died after a decade. Who would want to spend $15K on a pair of actives, only to have an issue with one of the amps inside the speaker-- after a decade? The warranty might be 3-5 years only, so you are out of luck if the active dies on year 6. Good luck and let us know what you end up buying! |
@texasblues1959 because they would be the priced higher than local brands. Nothing wrong with them, it's just practical to chose items made in the area, less transportation costs. |
