Screw the floor standing speaker. At $3500. I heard the PS Audio F5 stand mounted speaker and it’s beyond anything in the $3500. range I have heard. Incredible soundstage, transparency and detail. Just beyond anything one should expect from a speaker priced in this range. All of PS Audio Aspen speakers were the best sound I heard at Axpona 2025. Were there better speakers? Yes, but they cost at least $60,000. and beyond.
$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.
