I'm going to take a several hour road trip to the Washington DC/Baltimore area to demo some speakers in the $10,000 range for a once in a lifetime purchase. I plan on listening to some Magico A3's, Aerial Acoustic 7T's, and Spendor D-9's. One of the dealers also has Paradigm
Persona 3F's on the floor, so I'll take a listen to them too. While I'm up there are there any other speakers in that price range you'd recommend I try to locate and take a listen to. I'm open to and welcome your suggestions and will take the time to research each one as well.
I'm not in the market for used equipment. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
skyscraper Indeed. Good to read that you have found your "pair" of loudspeakers. Nice score. Hope you quest for an integrated is easier. Keep me posted as you build a system around the A3. Happy Listening!
skyscraper Good move not buying any speaker junk sourced to china for production. As above, any dealer/retailer that turns down a (potential) $10K sale is doing well, financially. Your travels revealed the M.O. in which some Audio shops operate. Nice report. Happy Listening!
Outstanding! MikeI enjoyed reading about your Speaker trek. You did not miss out on the Aerial 7t model, a few years ago I was sorely disappointed. Turned out to be a great move, as I discovered Thiel Audio. Revel was a disappointment as well. Much Thanks for listing the dealers/retailers visited. There is nothing wrong about citing a poor experience w/ any Audio shop visited. Enjoy the Magico A3. Happy Listening!
skyscraper I am looking forward in reading more about your Audio journey.Baltimore MD is a magical place for such things. I started my Audio journey in that city and it really set the pace for greater events in my life. Happy Listening!
