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.

++++1 for the Volti Razz

I do not own them (I may very well buy their big brother Luceras in 2025), but I do get to listen to them on occasion as 2 friends own them. 97db at 6 ohms so easy to drive, and dynamic as hell, can be found for under $5,000 used for sure. They seem to match up well with SS and tube amps

Not sure how their frequency response measures, as it is so room dependent

Understood. Still might be worth a conversation with Greg, he's great to talk to and may have an opinion one way or the other

I didn't know you owned Aric's gear, I'm a big fan myself. I own his Motherlode XL preamp, and his Transcend "Push Pull" EL34 amp.....both extraordinary pieces of gear

I am a huge Aric Audio fan (I own his Transcend "Push Pull" EL34 amp, and his Motherlode XL preamp. I do have to agree when you are dropping $7,400 on a pair of speakers, they do need to look great as well. Hopefully the new carpenter helps, and maybe a simple magnetic cloth grill?

I too would like to see Aric at Axpona, but I did not see him on the exhibitors list
