Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range

I concur with Trelja - the Sashas are a good choice if you like precise sound - an exception in the Wilson line, which is normally colored by a house sound that leans towards heavier resonant bass (especially in the WP line). Frankly, the others would not make my shortlist but my taste (in the minority) is not towards laid back mids and an emphasis on bass.

Frank the OP gave a shortlist - how did this get so far off topic - oh of course this is Audiogon and we always go off topic!

Frank,

Can you comment on the sound versus the others on the shortlist or was their stunning tall elegant look that grabbed you.

Frank,

Those Accuton drivers are indeed world class as well as expensive too. To get 14 of them in a pair of speakers with a Sonus Faber quality finish is great value - I imagine you got a good price. Sorry to hear that Consensus went out of business.
