Best $4-7K speaker for HT and music?

Legacy Audio Focus 20/20.

Silverline Audio Sonata II or LaFolia

I agree with Timo 100%, Legacy Audio Focus 20/20. They will give you huge spl's and stay audiophile all the way. I think they run about $6200.

AP virgos all the way bro. I picked up a pair on a'gon for $2200.00. You have plenty of dough left over for the center channel, too. Soundstage kings and accurate as heck.

I forgot to mention...WAF is hugely important. I think it might take Legacy out of the running.

Vienna Acoustic Mahlers if you can get a demo pair for between $6k and $7k.

See then in my system here:

Make sure you add the Talon Raven-C to your list.

VMPS RM40 and Focus 20/20...They are huge speakers(especially RM40) but you and your wife just have to get used to big speakers..

Don't forget the Coincident Speaker Technology line. The Super Eclipse, and especially the Total Eclipse, would certainly be on my short list for HT/audio applications. Good luck.

Look at Genelec. Active speakers that were originally for the professional market. They start at $600 per channel or per speaker and go all the way up to 20K.

Ill go for the Martin logan odyssey, this are both good
for HT and music, well design and very very good speaker
YOU CANT GO WRONG ON THIS CHOICE.

I own legacy Focus and Classics. They outperform any speaker I have heard at any price. That includes Vanderseens and B & W. The legacy folks have raised the prices of these units about 50 percent in the last few years, as they have tried to develop a dealer following as opposed to their direct selling process a few years ago. But even at these higher prices, they are tremendous bargains when compared to the over $10,000 speakers. incidentally, The Classic at half the price Of the Focus comes very close To Focus performance. So, if you want to save $3000 and not miss much Get a Pair of Classics

if waf wasnt so important, then vandersteen 2 or 3. otherwise, totem, aerial, proac are worth considering.
keep your eyes open for used vandersteen 5, and have it all.

Avantgarde Solos. Amazing sound, and saves you dough on the amps. Three across the front will be magical...

Vandy 3a Sig with 2 2wq subs. You get real full range speakers for 6k retail.
