Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice


Hello All: Many of us have limited access/ability to audition multiple speakers brands. That got me to thinking- If one had a budget of $20K max, a solid state amp rated at 125WPC, and listened to all varieties of music (primarily rock, pop, folk), what speaker(s) would you be most willing to recommend to that person and feel confident they would be happy with the purchase?

I’m not sure where you’re located. Safe and Sound in Chicopee MA is a brick and mortar store. They carry a wide array of speaker brands and modles, all I stock available to audition and immediate delivery.  Chec them out their website’

Sorry I am late to the forum.  The AG website was compromised.  A phisherman.  They fixed it today.  An expenditure like that warrants dealer assistance with system integration, installation, and optimization.  Audition mandatory. There are many excellent recommendations from members.  I did not see my personal favorite- Vivid.  Aesthetics are a personal taste.  I find their designs artistic and pleasing.  I find their sound quality exceptional.  Clarity, integration, dynamics, staging, imaging, and musicality- they have it all.  The Kaya 90 is in your budget.  Better is a pre-owned pair of Giya G-3 S2 which would be slightly below $20k.  Call or visit GTT Audio in NJ.
