A little more than $10000 (MSRP $12K) will get you Dutch & Dutch 8c, which received a glowing review from Stereophile https://www.stereophile.com/content/dutch-dutch-8c-active-loudspeaker-systemUnless you only interested in casual listening, bookshelf speakers need active correction to sound full range. You can retire power amplifier to offset the cost too. |
I am a long-time stand mount speakers + dual subs fan. I recently replaced my Revel Ultima Gems (great speakers) with Raidho XT-1's and I am exceptionally happy with them. The tweeter in the XT-1's is identical to the tweeter in the most expensive Raidho model, and the driver was also their best as of a couple years ago, so nice trickle down. If I were in the market, in addition to my Raidho's, my list would be narrowed down to: 1. Vivid Kaya S12 (soon to be released). The US distributor told me they will retail for $6,000. They don't have a dedicated stand as of yet, but that is in the works. 2. Jean Marie Reynaud Voce Grande (the speaker stand is incorporated with the speaker-they are not separable), which has only been in the market for a few months. Pulsars or a used pair of Alta Celesta FRM's would also be worthy of consideration, but for me personally, it would be Raidho, Vivid or the JMR's. |
