I have $3k Crites with 2 subs. 100dB. Pass XA25. Don't knock it, this system is really enjoyable. It will play as loud as you ever want, yet sound good at 70 dB. You can feel the bass even at lower volumes. These speakers sound good by themselves, but really shine with subs They come in unfinished birch. I have seen veneered versions that are very attractive. Might have too much old school or DIY look for some.
If If I were to spend $15k, Fleetwood speakers would be worth looking at, beautiful, horn loaded. Others are Volti, JBL, PBN.
I personally prefer solid state, especially for rock.
