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?

Currently own and will never sell:  Joseph Audio Perspective 2 Graphene and PS Audio FR-20.

I would love to answer your question directly, but these are very different speakers. The technology is different especially if you look at the FR 20 Mid range and tweeter, which are likely planers. The two  aesthetics are completely different. The Joseph perspective is smaller and lighter, but probably has a higher wife acceptance factor.  Look at the specs and photos on the websites.

As far as sound is concerned, I prefer whichever speaker I happen to be listening to..

You might consider YG Acoustics Peaks series: wonderful speakers. I was very close to buying a pair.

I also have a pair of Yamaha NS-5000s driven by Bel Canto Black EX and love them.

Speakers are one part of a system. I usually spend more on electronics and cables than speakers. Until they are in your house and set up properly, with your equipment, you can only predict how they will sound. It is like discussing engines not installed in a car. Only once the engine is in the car will you know how the car performs.
