Some very good suggestions have already been offered. Take a look at Wilson-Benesch Geometry Series: http://wilson-benesch.com/geometry-series/ I own the Vertex model which is pretty much the entry level in the series. Superb! Happy hunting |
When I went shopping for speakers with $10,000 I got some salon2’s and usher be20dmd’s and for my Hegel h360 the ushers were better, although I think the salons may have a higher ceiling if I could have matched them with a $$$$ amp. There was a pair of sopra 3’s for sale for the longest time for $10k I nearly bought just because of the price! |
Assuming you are looking at floorstanding speakers, there are a couple pairs of used Raidho’s out here. They would be at the top of my list though you do need to have the right room for them. All Raidho’s need 3’ of space behind them and 9’ of space between the speakers. The X3s that are listed need a good 4’ from side walls because of a side firing bass driver. The Cs that I saw listed can be close to the wall without issue. There are are tons of other speakers that I have seen listed in this thread that are great. I would be biased toward used Wilson’s or Magico Ss if you can find them on your budget. If you were looking at stand mounted speakers the list would be different. |
