What speakers for 10k?


Looking to buy the end of game speakers, currently I have Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand. My amp is the Parasound a21 with the Parasound p5 pre amp, Marantz sa8001 sacd and the Marantz sr5001 avr, psa xs15se sub. My budget is 5 to 10k on main speaker upgrade.

Buy the Nimbus (or something in that general price) now and get off the upgrade train, if not permanently, for at least a longer period of time. The Stiff Breeze is another $2,500 speaker, and while it may be a great $2,500 speaker (I have not heard it), it is not the answer to "What speaker for $10k?"

If you want to make a significant leap forward in the quality of your sound reproduction you can't make it taking small steps. Just my experience, FWIW.

Best of luck in your search.

I don't understand how a thread about looking for "end of game" speakers up to $10K turned into buying the Vapor Audio Breeze?"

I agree with you 100%
You could order in Wavetouch and all of the speakers below, then select a winner!!

I think they will sound fine with the equipment you have, but will just be a sideways move.

When you really get down to it, if you like fooling around with equipment, do you really want to get to an "end of game" speaker?

I think I am there, in that I do not plan to upgrade my speakers any further, but occasionally I still have lust in my heart for other speakers, so who knows? I may buy another pair of speakers after all.

I hope your Wavetouch works out for you, but keep having fun changing equipment as long as you are enjoying it.

Best Regards,

... does anyone have any suggestions on a nice pair of stands?"

My suggestion is that you start a new thread and include the stand height you need.
"I wonder what those Magnavox speakers of sevenshy's sound like?"

Probably similar to the WT without the whizzer cones ;-)
