My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf


This is a follow up post to my “Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker.

Price range - below $25k 

In quote “A gorgeous Piano white” - tower or bookshelf 

Aesthetics count as it’s a centerpiece to our new gathering room

+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.

The newspaper sh PS audio speaker line is available in white & they’re very good. Worth a look & listen. 

ATC SCM40 in white- listened to them in this color yesterday at CAF. $7000 in passive.

@aj523 agree about the Fleetwood Deville speakers. Beautiful to look at but VERY limited low end. For the $$ you can do better IMO.
