Sonus Faber has a speaker in that price range that is worth a listen. I heard the JBL’s at a show and they sounded great. Also maybe listen to the Klipsch Forte.
I ended up with Cornwall IV,s and they are pretty great. I heard Forte’s and they are also impressive. Unfortunately, I have never heard Tekton’s although I would love to some day. Supposedly the Polk R700 is big bang for the buck at 2k.
Considering Towers in the $3000 range
I am strongly considering a purchase. I am considering the following in no particular order in a large room with high ceilings which I would be driving with a Cary Audio SL-100:
Wharfedale EVO 4.4
Dali Oberon 9
ELAC Carina FS247.4
Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G
Looking for opinion based on experience. My listening preferences are eclectic.
Thanks in advance for responses.
