I just purchased a new pair of Legacy Focus SE speakers. I've heard them many times over the years and again at the AXPONA a couple weeks back. I'm coming from Magnepan speakers! Hard to go wrong with good quality full range speakers.
$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.
Perlisten Audio S7T, Revel 328be and Sonus Faber would be the three that I would pick myself personally. You really need to audition these in person and see which ones work best for you and the music you listen to. They all have different characteristics and honestly you can't go wrong with any of them, even the other ones on your list as well. The end of the day doesn't matter what anyone else says,. It's what you really like. Narrow it down to your final two and see if you can get it in home audition with them. If not, go back for another listening session. Make sure you're playing all the music you would listen to at home and don't forget the bass. These speakers well. They are great. They are not true replication of Base. All of those brands have excellent subwoofers they can offer you.

You might consider the Fyne F-703s. I have the F-702s and am very pleased with their music reproduction. The F-703s are, here in the USA, right at your price point. Amplification and speaker cables will have an impact on the tonal qualities, sound stage, and dynamics. I am driving the F-702s with 200 wpc solid state monobloc and am very pleased with their music reproduction sound reproduction, although the F-702s have only 8”/200mm bass speakers while the F-703s have 10”/250mm bass speakers, so I added two Rythmik 12” subwoofers at a reasonable cost. The Fynes provide a superb sound stage, three-dimensional dispersion, and excellent instrument and voice tonal qualities. If they are available in your area they are definitely worth a listen. |
So many excellent options at your price point. I'd absolutely buy used from a highly regarded reseller here for around 50% off new pricing. I am a Rockport fan and there is a pair of Atria 2's for sale close to your budget - no relation to the seller. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb9bb4-rockport-technologies-atria-series-2-full-range

At $15k, I would consider used Sonus Faber Amati Tradition…….or get two REL subs and pair with Sonus Faber Olympica III or Olympica Nova III. |
