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?

What’s your main bread and butter for music type. You mentioned rock first? What kind of rock? Hard rock, metal. Everyone says a good speaker is equally good at everything and I’ve found especially on the higher end that is BS! That’s why I’ve kept my Focal 836w over much more expensive speakers over the past few years.

The Sonus Fabers I have heard I don’t think would do any justice to rock if that’s your bag. haven’t heard them in a bit so dunno. YMMV.

@fastfreight ,

“Or get one of the last pairs of Revel Salon 2's for about 10 - 12k.  Besst value out there IMHO.”

 

I don’t think his amp would be anywhere near powerful enough for the big Revels as I’ve heard they require BIG power to get them cooking. I’ve heard them but can’t remember the amplification but they were big monoblocks.
