Look at the VMPS FF-3 Special Ribbon Edition (biamp only). They list for $8000 with the $900 Active crossover, but contact me for price. The level of hardware & construction quality are more inline with $25,000. the ribbon midrange was described by Tony Cordesman in Audio as a "new reference". The fanaticism in the active crossover is unknown by the competition. Hope you realize the level of final sound is dependant on many things besides the speakers. Cheers, & have fun searching.
Which Speaker in the 4-6K Range?
I am interested in buying a pair of full range floor standing speakers that have the following attributes:(1)Sensitivity of 90db or greater. (2)Bass extension down to at least 25-30hz. (3) Solid built quality. (4) Ability to simply diappear and (5) cost about 4-6k. I am considering the Silverline audio Sonata and Coincident Technologies. I prefer the Hales Design Group Trancendence 8 but it costs 10k unfortunately. Please help.
