i had them on my short list and even listened to them but they seem so overpriced esp in a custom color over $20k and sounded beautiful but not a lot of low end.
+1 Estelon Aura. It's a no-brainer, but keep in mind that this is a pair of very demanding speakers for your amplifier. They drop to a 2-ohm load in the bass and a 4-ohm load in the mid-bass region. Don't be misled by the single-tone sensitivity rating (90dB/m/W) published by the manufacturer. When powered by a high-current amplifier with stable continuous output down to low impedance, this beauty transforms into a monster. I was deeply impressed when I heard it at a hi-fi show in Taipei.
My wife loves my new PMC Twenty 5.24i’s in piano white. Small footprint and easy wall placement with the transmission line bass. Way below your budget. Getting ready to order a Luxman 509z integrated for new power or a Pass labs Int 250.
