$40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list

Although I personally like Eidolons Diamond very much, I doubt that they would make a great match with your system, as some ppl sugested. Same goes for lumen white and other Accuton (ceramic) based speakers. They do require an amp with "musical/organic" sense, natural timbres and an easy flowing liquidity. Preferably a good tubeamp.

Those my expiriences from trying 20+ different amps on my Eidolons Vision anyway.

Length: 30 ft
Width: 21 ft
Height: between 10-13 ft

It will be a matter of proper placement and voicing for each individual speaker rather than a question of if any will not work at all. Just make sure the small end of the room is in the front and not the back if it is a sloping ceiling.

I still think you should check out some Wilson speakers also, if you haven't already... Preference is a fickle thing, I wouldn't want to see you miss out on something you might possibly like better.

Save yourself $27K and buy a pair of Green Mountain Audio Calypso's. 6moons.com will be doign a review on them in the next month or so. I'm betting they will be highly impressed.

Best idea yet, send $32,000 to children that are dying of starvation which will probably save about 7,500 starving children and spend $8,000 on some awesome used speakers here on agon.

Your conscience will give you more joy for doing a good thing for humanity then what any $160,000 speakers could give anyone. Just a thought!!

Better yet, do the smart thing...

Take whatever income tax writeoff amount you have available and give it to those charities. Then use the speakers as a business expense for your conference room (HT *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*) where you show clients and prospective clients powerslides/presentations of things you are working on. This way you can write that off as well.

Then use the money you didn't waste by just foolishly giving it away without thinking about how to use it properly, and reinvest it in order to make compound interest on the investment and in order to make future investment income. This way you can do the same thing all over again next year when your invested money makes more money for you!

If you just give your money away without being creative, you won't have anything left to give to charity very soon. If you use an intelligent investment strategy, you can keep giving to charity for the rest of your life. Thus you can give a lot more money to charity over the long term, rather than making yourself a charity case in the process by foolishly giving it away without any foresight.

See, you can own the some of the best speakers in the world, such as my Wilsons, and still help save the third world, all at the same time! Go figure!
