purchasing US made speakers


I currently have psb imagine t2 speakers. I am interested in replacing them with US manufactured speakers 10-12 k being the maximum price....perhaps aerial acoustics, vandersteen,,,,,any thoughts? My hearing at age 70 diminishes at 8,000 hz so a good midrange is probably good.

I bought a speaker not auditioned in my own room. Not auditioned by me in any room. Its the best speaker I ever heard in my life! Its everything I had come to expect from reading reviews, impressions, and design theory. Only better. The old advice to always home audition first is a good one only if you won't use the search bar and instead are willing to severely limit your options.

The US made speakers with the best tech and value are made in Utah by Eric Alexander at Tekton Design. End of story.
Joseph Audio, Devore Fidelity, Bache, Silverline, Ryan Speakers, Fritz Speakers, Spatial Audio, and Eggleston Works would be at the top of my audition list for American brands. 

At lower price points there is Zu Audio, Omega, Ascend Acoustics, Magnepan, Tekton and Salk Sound. Salk seems to offer a near endless number of custom options and price points.

Omega might fit your needs since they use full-range drivers that eliminate the need for a crossover in the midrange. The strength of full-range drivers is a midrange purity that comes at the expense of top octave "air" and shimmer. Omega and Salk produce some of the best veneer work in the biz if that matters to you. 

Fritz puts the same level of drivers into his $3K speakers that are not uncommon in $20K speakers. 

In the pre-owned arena, I'd look for a gently used pair of Rockports. The ones I've auditioned came the closest to what I'd consider a flawless sound. 

Daedalus, Fritz, Salk, and Odyssey are all American made speakers with superior models in the original poster’s price range. They are all exceptionally well-made and backed up by great customer service.
I too have a high frequency hearing loss.  After struggling with tuning my system for years I finally went to an audiologist and got fitted with hearing aids.  After having done this I am now enjoying music much more.
As for speakers I would recommend zu audio in Ogden Utah.
