Speaker recommendation

I’m looking to buy a speaker in the $4000-5000 range. I was very impressed with the GoldenEar Trton 1 speaker I heard at a friend’s house, and I know the Tekton DI is very well thought of on this forum.
 I listen to mostly classical music, some Diana Krall and the like, and also big band music.
Any other suggestions?

If you listen to mostly classical music, then Sonus Faber is a good choice.

Above one appears to be good value to me.

It is not my speaker ad.

I also recommend new Rogue  Cronus Magnum II integrated amplifier to drive the speakers.

The combined price is less than 5K.

It will be a good choice for classical music.

It also has a good bass extension and nice soundstage.

I did not put up the above AD or no relation to its seller.

PSB T3 is also on the sale.

I have a PSB subwoofer and I like it.

Even though  PSB T3 is a very nice speaker with good bass extension, Sonus Faber Cremona is more refined and suitable to classical music.

You can go either way with no regret.

Ditto + to Martin Logan Montis

I am happy with my present speaker which is out of reach to most people (new price was 55K 11years ago)

But if the speaker stop working, I may go back to planar speaker

Martin Logan is very musical and suitable for classical music.

The only catch is that you need big space.

I went through the spec of  GoldenEar Triton One and it looks very good.

Good luck to you!

I got the feeling that it will go by well with Tube amplification.


It will be nice if you can audition the speaker at your home with Rogue Cronus Magnum II.
