Just because you have $20k to spend on speakers doesn't mean you should or that any speaker represents value. Yamaha NS-5000 speakers were introduced in 2016 for $15k. They took a while to get to the USA, but are still $15k. That's $19,200 in today's dollars. They are state-of-the-art in so many ways and really an incredible value. Check them out and give them a listen.
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
Hello All: Many of us have limited access/ability to audition multiple speakers brands. That got me to thinking- If one had a budget of $20K max, a solid state amp rated at 125WPC, and listened to all varieties of music (primarily rock, pop, folk), what speaker(s) would you be most willing to recommend to that person and feel confident they would be happy with the purchase?
