$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.

Many great speakers mentioned here. It depends on your personal tastes, music, ancillary equipment etc. If you prioritize live, dynamic sound  without being hard or harsh at any volume level, check out Volti Audio. Very few speakers in this price range can equal them in this regard.

+1 I owned Olympica 3 for many years. MacIntosh is often sited as a good match, as is Audio Research if you want a more detailed an balanced sound. 

Thanks all for the comments, really interesting advise and opinion. Much appreciated!

Point of reference. Use good headphones and have a listen:

is not just about loud—it’s about precise. I am after something that renders full-range material with tonal neutrality and visceral impact. Whether it's listening to classical, funk, pop or film scores I want to hear layers of detail, soundstage depth and dynamic impact.

Thanks.

Also with Legacy Focus SEs and their speakers above these, no subwoofers required!  Spend the money on cables, etc.
