Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair

I love my Closer Acoustics OGY/BOB set up. Three BOBs have been recommended for larger spaces; I am in an irregular sized listening space that is open to a larger space to one side (a pretty open floor plan home) and use two BOBs on the left and right.  I think they are spectacular. 
 

But as a colleague once told me, the plural of anecdote is anecdotes, not “randomized double blinded study”.  So as they say, your mileage may vary. 
 

Regarding the tariffs, some things I bought recently had no change in price as it had already come to the US and was in a warehouse here. I ordered these speakers sight unseen, without auditioning, so it was definitely a gamble that paid off for me. Coming from Europe I suspect there will now be that added charge, sadly.

The suggestion on TAD is spot on but I think they will be above your price range.  I went from  Fyne 501SPs to TAD ME1s and it was multiple levels better.  I would look at Marten Oscar Trios that are sometimes available around the price and Acoustic Energy Continuum speakers.  Good luck !

Depends...if you get something like a Andrew Jones Mofi 888 for 5k,  you may get some drivers that are superior to off-shelf anything...and you won’t be able to make them for $50 or $100 if you have to do the r&d from scratch.

Keep in mind that most commercially available $5K/pair speakers are equipped with tweeters and woofers that would retail for somewhere between $50 and $100 each if they were sold piecemeal by Seas, SB or Scanspeak. Typically, less than 25% of the street price is what went into building those $5K speakers. And don’t be fooled by those who claim their in-house built drivers are superior. They are often inferior to off-shelf drivers if anything. 

Of the three changes I made, the cables made the biggest difference—which I did not expect, the switch from a tube amp to solid state monobloc came next, and then the subwoofers.

You have that in reverse order, right?
