Would you consider horns? I use to have Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers. After selling them I went on a mission to find new speakers and never would have considered horn speakers. However, when comparing horn to other non horn speakers including Vandersteen, I was blown away on how good horns sounds. I ended up purchasing Viking Acoustic Grande Voix that are made in Sante Fe, NM. They have a Berlin speakers that is awesome sounding in your price point. The owner /designer is David Counsel. Check our tge website and give him a call/
purchasing US made speakers
I currently have psb imagine t2 speakers. I am interested in replacing them with US manufactured speakers 10-12 k being the maximum price....perhaps aerial acoustics, vandersteen,,,,,any thoughts? My hearing at age 70 diminishes at 8,000 hz so a good midrange is probably good.
