Need Help finding Speakers Budget 20,000 US

If you are looking at Salk, Daedalus, and Evolution. I highly recommend you take a look at Vapor audio as well, the Joule would fit right into that range as well. A lot higher quality drivers and cabinet construction than most of the others in that price range.

Seems you could eliminate Evolution based on what you said
Great components too

Hello Dragon Vibe

I can comment on some of your choices.

We are very familiar with the Purity Audio Design, Bob Carver and Daedalus arrangement. I have had the Daedalus Ulysses for over a year and we have shown with them at shows a few times. We have also provided Purity preamps for every show Bob Carver did since the new company started.
My favorite aspect of the Daedalus is the dynamic impact. They are very smooth and accurate speakers. Lou Hinkley is a great guy to deal with.

I havent heard the Ushers speakers in our systems for a while but can say that they are a great value. The upper end is very articulate and extended on their upper end models and they like a lot of power.

I would say that either would be a good choice but they do have very different characteristics. I would do some research on what other's have said about these speakers to help decide which would be better suited for your taste.

I wish I could hear (or better yet own) a pair of Tannoy Royal Kingdom speakers to pair with our Ultra 300B amplifiers.

I like my Soundscape 10s. I wouldn’t want to trade them in for any of the other speakers you mentioned. The Soundscapes are the most neutral speakers in your list. If you got the Soundscapes then you might need a warmer 6SN7 tubes. Your Sophia 6SN7 tubes might be the cats meow with the Daedalus or Tannoy speakers, but they may be too neutral for the Soundscapes.

A speaker is a personal matter. Another person never can choose for you. Because they dod not know your preference. Take your time and listen to many speakers. At the end you will find one what fits best to you. It is that simple!!
