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.

For explosive dynamics you need a large speaker with the following specs:
1-dual 15" woofers, at the minimum.
2-at least a 2" compression driver for the highs
3-high efficiency ion less than 96 dB
4-all the above plus bi-amplification, with a bi-amplifie large system you have a good chance of reaching your goal of explosive dynamics.
I have one such system, it is JBL 4350, a four way bi-amplified monster.
I mainly listen to classical, these JBL's can do justice to uncompressed orchestral recording like no other speaker with a very transparent full range sound.
If you google JBL 4350 you will see the full specs.
The lower end has two 15" driver that extend up to 250Hz.
The upper end is three way with its own passive crossover, starting from 250 to 1.1Hz a big beefy 12" cone driver does the honors, above that and up to 9kHz a 2" compression driver, and above 9kHz to 21kHz another ultra high compression driver.
I use two 200W power amps for the high and low ends along with an electronic crossover set at 250Hz.
