No one has mentioned Revel F228 Be so I will. They list at $10K but have been on factory authorized sale and used….could hit your price point. Very capable, accurate and musical across genres.
$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?
My speakers are 25 years old, working fine for now, but who knows I might have to replace them at some point in the future.
The amp would be VAC Avatar SE 60 watt/ch all tube with onboard phono stage. Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm turntable and couple of tape decks.
I am thinking Proac maybe or whatever.
