Speaker selector app.

I wish someone made an app to help select speakers.
Here's what I want:
Full range with a silky but extended and detailed top end. No mid-range harshness. Sound good at low levels and be able to play classical music at concert levels. Good sound stage and depth. Bass down to 20hz for pipe organ music. What more could I want? Around $6000. Any ideas?

Just more drivers in a box Larry. They may be very well designed in terms of driver choice and cross over design but in the end they are just more drivers in a box. If it comes down to that type of speaker I have not yet seen one better made than Sonus Faber. But I have not ever been near Salk Speakers. However saying they are better than any $20,000 speaker is a stretch for sure. SoundLabs 545 ESLc go for something like $13,000.

I think this and other audio forums are the only app you are going to find. It seems that this "app"has already given you a few suggestions.

You can get very close to what you are looking for with the Legacy Signature Se’s. Go down to 22hz +/- 2db. Great midrange and the highs are very extended with the AMT tweeter but never harsh. These speakers can get low (just make sure your room can handle it) and used are in your price range. Been very happy with mine and getting ready to consider the Aeris when I go to CAF this year.
