Ever consider Clarisys speakers?
I own the Minuet and it is awesome. There are more $$$ models to choose.

Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
So, I am getting rid of the wife (divorce, I am not burying her in the backyard!) and can now get big floor standing speakers. I currently have a Luxman integrated and model 30 Harbeth speakers, and a very good sub. Very neutral/natural sound, can listen for long sessions. But I don't get a very good image, and it seems a little too laid back. I listen mainly to singer-song writers, both male and female. Lots of acoustic/piano.
There are so many floor standers now, I'd like to shorten the list. Any suggestions to start my search? I am located in southern CA, so I can listen to almost any brand. Price should be under $100K.
I may lose a wife, but so far the freedom/cash is worth it.
Thanks all!

I agree with @bigwave1 With a budget such as yours, you'd be crazy not to make a few road (or plane) trips to check out some of the big boys in person. I'd rather spend 20K on auditioning the right speaker than spend 100K on a complete unknown. That remaining 80K will buy a lot of performance, and it will be performance that you have already heard.

Here they are, the ultimate divorce rebound speakers. Their purchase will speak to your ex-wife like words never could. https://www.soundroom.ca/products/wamm If, as has been alleged, they sound as fantastic as they are ugly, then you are truly in for a treat... Just do it, your inner teenager will love you for it!

In any case, generally speaking, $100k speakers would require near top of the line electronics, source and cables to sound their best. You would probably be looking at $250k or so new system. Do you really want to go that far ? You can assemble a truly excellent system for $100k total or less, especially if you are prepared to buy used. |
Acora SRC-2 - special order or limited rare material Will also leave you with some cash to get the right cables and, maybe down the road upgrade a component or two. I mean, c’mon, granite? And incredible sound. Easy choice. * I’m partial to Borresen but if somehow, magically, I had 100 grand to spend that’s where I’d go. |
