Ultimate challenge biggest bang speaker


World class speakers cost lots of money I have discovered what I want my system to sound like, but I want to have money left over for better electronics. Anyone know afffordable speakers (up to $3,000 maybe $4,000) that will bring out all the detail, air, sound stage and life-like sound that I sensed when listening to kharmas or jm lab utopia divas or piega c8ltd. or dynaudio c4. All excellent speakers but surely sometimes a bargain can be found that gives you alot for the money. thanks.

Hmmm. Maybe. BUT don't tell tale indications abound? Take yr spkrs for example:

The Lowthers' spec ~21000 Gauss magnetic field coupled to, what?, 7-8gms altogether of moving mass???
Good indication to expect "open transparent" sound i.e. we can expect each driver to deal with cases where instantaneous cone motion is needed AND where lots of energy is needed (as in the upper register -- transparency).

Of course, the single driver by definition has no cross-over within its operating range. So, no filter related phase anomalies, and no filter related energy guzzling; good indication to expect "musically right sound"...

What about dynamics??? I bet you haven't found many spkrs to match yrs in that field, either.

I'm just proposing that certain things can at least be assumed by looking at certain specs:)! Cheers
