Best speakers around $130k?

@jdoris That is a very tasty anecdote, thankyou for sharing. I so much enjoy people with Didi’s quiet and modest disposition of character. Strength. Nod, smile, "Ï know, thankyou".

As @acresverde noted here on the first page, the Ultimate Reference is rated at 6 ohms with 1st order XOs, and its also 2dB more sensitive at 92dB. That rocks my boat. Maybe I need a bigger boat while I’m at it, coz they’re getting very heavy at 120kg.

Hi-Fi News, January 2022 edition has just reviewed the Wilson Audio Alexx V, the cost to us Brits a mere £139K !!! Ken Kessler reckons it's "the best damned speaker I have ever heard", but he is a Wilson devotee !!.

I would audition the Borresen Acoustics 03 ($60K) and the 05 ($100K).  Borresen is the guy who put Raidho on the map, moved on and started his own company.  I own Raidho, they are incredible.

After you go through all the expensive speakers, buy some superior hardware (Audio Research, possibly) and have your dealer set up the best Magnepan speakers IN YOUR ROOM.

If that is not to your liking, whatever you buy will be just fine, I am sure.

Cheers!
