$25K is a lot of $$$ for speakers. You could buy a great pair of used speakers for much much less and commission someone to refinish them in high gloss white and they would look brand new.
Speaker List narrowed down…
This is the final post in a follow up to my two previous posts of “Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker” and “My wife weighed in she wants piano white tower/bookshelf “
Details:
Price range - below $25k
Color: Flexible now but Aesthetics count as it’s a centerpiece to our new gathering room
Also, the only source will be a turntable - Macintosh MT-10 and MP-100 (to be purchased and that’s it), amp is the Rose hifi RS 520 which is 250 wpc and I value the mid-range.
I have pictures of my room but no idea how to post (audiogon clearly hasn’t updated their technology from 30 years ago).
Final Choices with notes:
Fyne Audio 8 (new) or 10 used
Estalon Aura (but too close to wall an issue?),
Reynaud Abscisse Jubilee (beautiful how’s the midrange?)
YG Acoustics 3, (Looks nice narrow baffle)
PS Audio FR20 or 10, (even the 10may be too big)
Perilstein S7T.
Focal Sopra 3

@grislybutter - apparently so :) @aj523 - I’m not shaming anyone here, your doing that all by yourself. More power to you that you can spend $25K on speakers, I think that’s great. Likewise, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I said either. I’ve been in this hobby for over 40 years and sold audio at retail for a few years about 30 years ago. There’s definitely a point of diminishing returns in this hobby if that’s of any importance here. For example, I have put together systems under $5K that hold their own with systems cost 5X more and are nearly just as good, and are the 20K speakers really that much better than the $10K ones? I’ll bow out now. Have fun, Enjoy the process, and I hope you find exactly what you are looking for. |
