Speaker recommendations welcomed


Hi everyone,

Looking for some speaker recommendations for a second system and would love to hear your input.  Here's a list of what I'm after

Budget around $5k

Prefer no bookshelf speakers

Non-agressive tweeters

Excellent imaging

I don't have electronics yet and have only started my speaker search. Thanks!!

I was where you are and decided on Totem Twin Bison.  Very at home with Nora to Zeppelin to Billy Strings.  They are detailed but not analytical.  Large soundstage they just disappear into.  I’m listening to the music not the speakers.   MSRP $4200.

 

Just my opinion.

 

 

Harbeth, they have their haters but at today's prices in today's market they are versatile, non-aggressive, cost effective and available in multiple price points. And  a known quality product across all models.

If you don't mind putting the speakers together yourself, there is nothing better out there than the Linkwitz LX 521. You can get the kit and the drivers from Madisound and the active 5-way crossover PLUS amplifier from the Linkwitz store in Stuttgart. In terms of spacial presentation and soundstage there is just nothing else at this price range. I am the happy owner for over ten years now. They got Product of the Year at AS two years ago: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-linkwitz-lx521-4-dipole-loudspeaker-review/

I liked Totem decades ago when I lived in Toronto, I will have to revisit them.  Thanks all for the recommendations.  Keep them coming!
