I generally refrain from commenting on something, unless I have firsthand experience. However, in this case there is a bit of reference and context.
I met Jim Salk a couple of times at audio shows and listened to his different models. I really wanted the SS 8's (~$9,000); the latest was the SS 9.5 floor stander. Retailing for around $12,000, they were some of the best speakers at that show.
Long story not as long ... the newest Salk offering is the BePure 2 ($6,000). According to Jim Salk "this design is the best sounding speaker we have ever produced". To me that speaks volumes, and I plan on getting a pair in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future. Hope that helps.
Best wishes and Happy Listening!
