What speakers for 10k?

'Even if they don't, you can upgrade her with the money you saved on the speakers."

I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at this, what a great comment.

His name is "jug" head. He has a Master plan at work here I think. 👏👏👏

Stop wasting your $$$ on $10k speakers or ultra expensive equipment! My last system consisted of a Sunfire Theater Grand III - (7) Marantz MA700 Mono blocks - NHT T-6 Evolution Towers and matching center & surrounds - and a Velodyne HGS-15 Servo Sub. I thought I had a decent setup until I redid everything (sold the old system with the house).

In the new house I went with a Pioneer SC-85 Atmos receiver ($1600) - EMP TEK R55Ti towers matching center & surrounds ($1700) and the HSU VFT 15H MK2 ($1006) - this new (at 1/4 the $$$) simply BLOWS away my old system. The EMP TEK towers image and soundstage is unbelievable - I actually had to get up to see if the center channel was on! These speakers literally disappear. As far as the sub goes - there is no comparison - the HSU blows the Velodyne out of the water. I'm hearing music/movies like I've never hear before!

I won't even get into cables - makes me sick to my stomach to think what I spent on cables for the old system (including a $700 balanced cable for the sub)! Today I'm using 'regular' Cable Matters for all the speakers and a $50 RCA to the sub. The funny part - is the room hasn't even been completed and I'm getting far superior sound with 'regular' equipment.

"Engineers are educated idiots", you say after having your digital alarm clock wake you up, took a shower off the public water works, took the freeway system to work in your Mercedes, walked up to your 15th floor office, booted up your computer, logged onto the internet, and posted how engineers are idiots. Self-righteous much?

"Why bash something I've never heard", well

- Why complain about the car marketed as having 300hp that only delivers 150, unless you've driven it
- Why complain about that bologna sandwich that they told you was prime rib, until you've eaten it

Does that connect the dots well enough for you?

That makes complete sense. If something works well for you, then it has to work for everyone.
