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.

My question would be this. Based on your "music listening" preferences, what sound and performance characteristics would you like more of than what the Fritz are providing to you? What areas of improvement are you looking to achieve? If dynamics, at low or high listening levels are important to you (keeping in mind our recordings might be a bottleneck here, compared to live, unamplified music), I would look at horn loaded speakers, some mentioned above, as well as Tekton models. Someone mentioned above that they owned 85db sensitive speakers that were as dynamic as anything else they have heard/owned. I must disagree with this, as to my ears and my fundamental understanding of dynamics and musical scale, compression exists otherwise. Of course, a smooth neutral tone, coherence, speed and agility, spatiality, and the room matching of speaker and listener, all are critical in achieving great sound and performance, imo & ime. Good luck and my best! MrD.
