As @chorus mentioned, take a look at the GR Research options. I had the GE Triton2+ and got the upgrade itch. After stumbling across Danny Ritchie's (owner of GR Research) videos about speaker technology and design, I decided to build a set of NX-Oticas and stereo open baffle subs. Since I used all the crossover upgrades and built subs with three woofers each, my total investment was about $6k.
I have now had these speakers for a year and I'm totally blown away by how good they are. I've been an audiophile for 45 years and have owned at least 15 different speaker systems, many priced 3 or 4 times what I paid for the GR Research speakers, and none have come close to the sound of these speakers (well, maybe somewhat close 😏).
That said, these speakers require a fairly large room. Like other open baffle speakers, these speakers need to be placed out into the room to sound their best. I have mine about seven feet from the front wall (measured from the front of the baffle).
