A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.


Specifically I am searching for those speakers possessing a relatively flat 8ohm impedance curve and a true (8ohm) 92db sensitivity that are at a cost of $5000 USD.

I currently own Fritz Carbon 7s SE  MK2.

Only 92db?? That’s not very efficient at all.

Try these very audiophile speakers. Put them on your highest fidelity dacs and amps.

 

Yamaha CZR-12, Price: ~2k/pair

Sensitivity 1W/1m: 97 db (passive)

8 ohm

Pioneer XY-122, Price ~6k/pair, but, you could beat it down to 5k with the dealer

Sensitivity: 101 db

8 ohm

As much as I admire Aric’s electronics, his speakers are butt ugly. I’m more about sound than aesthetics, but even I have my limits and I couldn’t look at those things in my listening room. 

@soix +1, looks like the guy needs to take a art/design class or two, laugh

I apologize @aricaudio for some undeserved harsh words and criticism written above. Every member here is an artist and an expert in design and they have incredibly high standards.

It’s really not that hard to make a speaker look a li’l better. In this case, he could have just moved the ports to the back or resorted to some slot design or whatever (two gaping holes in the front which look like that orifice takes away aesthetic appeal).

Let’s see....not sure why he wouldn’t do a vertically stacked MTM with just 2 mids....and a swept back facet on that fat front baffle (it would also take care of diffraction errors). Such things could also increase performance and aesthetic appeal.

Maybe, it’ll happen in a version 2.0 eh?
