I had a $15K budget for speakers and was won over by the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III. The dealer convinced me to spend another $3K on the Olympica V, and I'm glad I did. I like bass and the Olympica V with its three woofers can rock out on rock n' roll, jazz, and even classical pieces like Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. To me, the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova speakers were more "musical" than other speakers I heard in its price range. By musical I mean that although they cast a deep and wide soundstage, there is also a blending of instruments as I hear when I listen to live music. I guess the phrase is musical versus analytical. I'm a musical guy rather than someone who likes strict instrument placement, which I do not hear when I go to the L.A. Philharmonic or popular or jazz concerts.
$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.
