Lol, if the price is right, maybe I'll take the 228s off your hands! And when you get tired of your 3Fs.....

3 best 10k speakers now imho
If I was about to pull the plug to replace my present Verity Audio Rienzi, I would consider those 3 contenders as my first choices.
1_ Revel F228BE
2_ Magico A3
3_ Spendor D9
I strongly believe those 3 pack the hardest punch right now at 10k.
Revel F228BE offers 2 x 8 inches bass woofers and a beryllium tweeter, this is a lot at that price level if you consider you have to go up to the Sopra 3 at Focal to get the same. Also ceramic composite drivers like Raidho, very light and stiff cone material.
Magico A3 has been compared favorably to Kanta 2 and Sopra 2 by online reviewers, Plus you get an all aluminum casing. Back ordered at dealers everywere, they seems to attract a lot of buyers.
Spendor D9, those are really special speakers imho, they are the « sleeper car « pair between the 3... often forgotten. Very quick and snappy, pratty drivers. EP77 cone material makes for a very natural midrange, a bit like Harbeth but without the thin wall resonating casing. Very nice soft dome tweeter also that has proven to be a musical, reliable winner for Spendor all these years. ( made from SEAS I believe)
What you guys think?
