$15,000 Floor-Standing Speaker Selection and Advice

I will second the the couple of recommendations above for Legacy.

Focus SEs or Focus XDs are worth considering. Also any of the models above these if they fit your budget.  I believe you will be impressed for what these speakers offer for the price. 

If you had been in the USA, Canada or Italy I would have suggested used SF Serafino as there are several excellent examples for sale on Hi Fi Shark. If as suggested you are in Australia, like me, the chances of finding top end Sonus Faber speakers used are slim. If you have to go new then the SF Olympica Nova or something in the Dynaudio range are worth looking at. Unless you really like extremely analytic speakers with accentuated high end avoid B&W and Focal.

That's right everyone I am in Australia and I do not ignore American brands as they make some brilliant stuff but UK and Europe are go to countries when it come to speaker manufacturing as far as I'm aware. 

As per the guy mentioning getting a subwoofer was a bit absurd but i let him have his two cents worth of comment. A decent large driver floor-standing speakers can cover low frequencies very well. So justifying a sub for the propose is as one guy said silly. And he said "not true 20hz-20khz", what in the hell that means?? Human hearing is 20hz-20khz and most speakers can reproduce those frequencies very well. But again I let him have is .5 cent worth.

Tah all.

I own the Perlisten S7T’s they are amazing. I’ve owned many great speakers including Revel F28BE, B&W Nautilus 802’s, Paradigm Personas and more. They all had their strengths. I’m also a HT guy besides 2 ch. The Perlistens are wonderful. But as one might guess here, they are going up for sale. I’m building a dedicated HT room and the wife wants to not see larger towers, so in-walls are coming - just not sure which ones but Perlistens in-walls are on the short list. Just my 2 cents worth!
