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

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 went to the link that @elliottbnewcombjr provided for the Volti Razz and it sounds like they do it all.  Big room or small room and high sensitivity and $5500 if no paint or finish . . . but it also sounds like once you've got them you've got them and if you don't like them you've still got them?

@vthokie83 Yes, being able to talk with the designer/builder is truly an advantage. That is why, beyond great sound, I like owning gear from John (Fritz Speakers) and Aric (Aric Audio).

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

OP

Aric Speakers seem like the answer for both you and your space. except price. Have you heard them? Time to sell some stuff and raise the budget.
