Deciding on the right huge speaker


Say you had decided that it was time to buy the speakers of your dreams, that you were willing to spend $30K for a pair and that you were going to utilize the full services of a dealer if necessary (ie, you're willing to pay list, more or less).

We all say it's essential to listen to your potential purchases before committing, preferably in your own setting. If you were choosing between, say, the Dynaudio Temptations, the Dunlavy SC-VI, the new Snell XA (in this months Stereophile), the Krell LAT-1 and a pair of Wisdom Audio's, how would go about getting an evaluation of this field? All of these speakers are huge, both in terms of dimensions and in terms of weight. How do you go through the process with some sense that you're going to make the "right" choice? -Kirk

Audiokinesis,I would not ever buy anything from you.Your advice is abhorent.
To suggest one does not need to listen in his own room is foolish.
If you sell a 30K product and figure the room its going in is not important then you aint goin to be my hi fi guy.Get real.
The size of your room is the most important factor you have to deal with.Tell us your room size and I am sure we can make some proper recomendations.
The Krell sounds like a totaly inapropriate choice.For the money and not to be full range.
We still need to know the size of your room to see of any of the speakers you chose would be appropriate.
