Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
Oh, and in case I didn't mention it they will be driven with MC501's or an MC352 with some version of Mac's tube pre. Currently I have a C48 that will likely be upgraded.  Am I wrong to think that a larger speaker in most cases will have a larger ... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
I wanted to know what represents the absolute best speaker value in terms of sound (& resale) that fits in the $5k to $15K (actually more like $13K) category.  Soundstage (sound envelope) is very important also.  The footprint being smaller (m... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
I have several suggestions that I am interested in hearing and at the top that list so far based on what I have been reading is the Legacy Audio Aeris.  I don't like powered speakers but the comments on how much the room correction makes a differe... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
Okay, so now we are getting into something that is definitely important to me .....  sweet spot , sound stage , over all stereo sound envelope is important to me and willing to pay more for it.  I have always wondered why so many audiophiles were ... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
markalarson , that sounds easy enough but some speakers are not in close enough proximity to listen to nor are they in a similar setup as mine necessarily.  I would have never known to consider several of these speakers without the suggestions put...

Dang, those Wilson Benesch speakers are $30K speakers.  Based on the reviews, I am definitely looking to try and find a set of Tekton's to see and listen to in person.   I don't think they are aesthetically displeasing at all.  They are just not e...

Whoops, I must have hit the wrong button.  Also, I should add that I will be amping them with MC501's or an MC352.  I did read that the Golden Ear Triton Ones were a great value. I would have never even looked at Tekton but now I have some field r...

Awesome!  A ton of great suggestions that I never would have considered.  @mzkmxcv Your comments about B&W and Wilson are definitely noted and interesting.  The reason I was told to consider the 800 series is because I like to listen very lou... 
MC300 MC252 MC501 recommendations based on my setup
Man I would love a set of 4367's but they are just out of my price range and I actually may not have the room for them anyway (I would have to measure).  I need a little bit smaller footprint I believe.  I sold a set of JBL's (strangely, I cannot ...

MC2301's wow!   There are so many choices and I have only recently gotten back into this outrageously expensive hobby.  After reading for what seems like a month straight I still have more questions than answers....lol Everyone seems to say the mo... 
MC300 MC252 MC501 recommendations based on my setup
Thanks Matt!  I will check out Dynaudio for sure. Of course they don't make the MC501's anymore either.  I am just trying to determine if it is worth the extra coin to get the MC501's at about double the cost of what I can get the MC352 for......D... 
JBL - almost nothing for sale, why?
I am also loving to hear this as in everything that requires money you will get snobs that talk you into the fact that their equipment is the best because it costs a certain amount of money.  I am on the search for new full size floor standing spe... 
MC300 MC252 MC501 recommendations based on my setup
I forgot to add that if I did not buy the MC 501's I would likely buy an MC 352 that I can get an excellent price on. Assuming I like to listen loud on a regular basis is the MC 352 enough in a medium size room?  Currently I can talk and have a co...
