Soundstage and explosive dynamics?


I’m looking high and low for speakers with the following attributes:

1. Wide and deep soundstage. Speakers can disappear from the soundstage.
2. Decent imaging.
3. Explosive dynamics with force and surprise.
4. Costs less than $10k.

How about the GoldenEar Triton ones for $5k (or $8k if you want to spring for the new Triton reference).

I have them in my living room, with the built in subs they have dynamic range, and they certainly seem to disappear from the soundstage to me.

Not sure the OP mentioned the room size he/she intends to use whatever speakers meet his/her four criteria.

I think the smaller the room, the more I would agree with kosst_amojan and rbstehno that you don't need giant woofers for great dynamics. Well designed smaller woofers in numbers are rather potent.

However, I think extremely large rooms or even outdoor venues where one is wanting to top 100+ decibel levels is where the point about physics and horn-loaded speakers as suggested by analogluvr and phusis becomes more prevalent.

For a modestly sized home room space, I don't think 15 inch woofers and large horns are needed to achieve what the OP desires. On the other hand, if you're wanting to fill an "auditorium" with sound, I think you would have to go with multiple 15 inch woofers and horns.
