Standmount speakers. I have $5000.


I'm shopping standmount speakers. I have $5000.  New or pre-owned is fine.

And:

Micromega M100 integrated pre/amp/dac
Syzygy SLF870 sub x2 (12" drivers, 1200w ea, 20-200Hz, room correction)
Dynaudio Stand 4

room = ~5000 cu. ft, 20'x 18' with 13'-17' vaulted ceiling

The new standmounts will replace Nola Boxers v1 ($1500 new in 2013)

I'm lazy about travel to audition anything but might for local options (esp. to vet pre-owned). I'd probly deal with in-home trial.

As semi-arbitrary starting point I'm looking at Salk SS 7M's ($4995 new). Any others I simply must consider?

Thanks!

2le: that’s +3 for Fritz. Are you an owner?

Studying Carerra 7 Be now - very attractive build, spec and reviews. Dude has been designing & building speakers since 1973! I like the assured yet modest voice that comes through in all the descriptions on the web site.
Check out the Tekton double impact monitors, giant killers for $2000 with exquisite sound quality and serious thump for their size.
Powered by my Peachtree Nova 300 they easily produce crisp detailed sound and lots of warm midrange with room shaking bass at 108db SPL.

I was going to suggest another sellers foundry edition one, but that one looks like it was snapped up in 2 days (listed at $5875). The link above is another standard color version and even lower cost.
I like those Boxers tho....
Wharfedale Lintons 85th Anniversary killer for the price..
Quad Z2
Revel M126Be
Kef R3
Used Harbeth 30.1
Used Dynaudio C1
Used Jospeh Audio Pulsars
I definitely like Fritz's designs...
