I like to be surprised by relatively inexpensive speakers ie not more than $10-20K:
Spatial Audio
PureAudioProject
Zu Audio
ProAc
But I gotta say if I were at Axpona I'd be very curious to hear Acora given all the buzz.
If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers
To listen to at the upcoming Axpona, in the 10 - 20k range driven by a great solid state amp which ones would you search for? Yes understand listening conditions and room setups can make or break a system but just trying to narrow some choices. Thank you.
