Standmount speakers. I have $5000.
The Osborn Eos Reference Elite uses the best of the best drivers.These are fantastic speakers and with the Aussie dollar now only US 68cents a complete bargain and well under US $5000.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&... 
Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle?
Also the Troels Gravesen Poor Mans Strad kit speaker. 
Black Ash.....
I think the man made veneers made from poplar and stained to imitate exotic timbers are are worse. 
Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle?
I agree that wider baffle speakers tend not to image as well as narrower ones.There are exceptions however.It would be more interesting to know why some image well and others don't.I have owned Yamaha NS1000 speakers that have quite poor imaging a... 
Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's
You should try to listen to  a Bakoon amp.On paper they are not as powerful as the others you have considered but I have heard them sounding wonderful with Dynaudio speakers.They have a beautifully pure,clear and natural sound and allow you to hea... 
Atma-sphere Updates
I will not give examples.That will only give oxygen to those comments and it is not in the best interest of anybody here to do that.Anybody can suffer from a lapse of judgement and suspect that is really what has happened here.People in this busin... 
Atma-sphere Updates
Atmasphere you know very well the comments I am alluding to.Playing dumb just makes you look worse.Yes some of the worst of those comments have been deleted but only because people like me have reported them to the administrators who have then act... 
Atma-sphere Updates
Regardless of the  general quality or sound quality of the Atmasphere products I would not touch the stuff because Atmasphere seems to feel it is necessary to denigrate perceived competitors on this forum in a manner which could easily be seen as ... 
Get your First Watt SIT-3 now?
Bakoon amps would be worthy of considering as an alternative.Both designers are producing really special sounding and highly evolved amplifiers.I own a Bakoon Satri 5521 which is a wonderful sounding thing.Here is an interesting review which compa... 
Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition???
I found the Revel F208 an interesting and pleasant speaker to listen to and as others have said one that would be unlikely to cause listening fatigue.They have a very even and nice tonality and driver integration is extremely good.They have unusua... 
TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP
Some real cowboys in Texas? That doesn't sound right! 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I would not describe the Yamaha speakers as spectacular.Wilsons are spectacular.What the Yamahas are is truthful and quite understated because of that.If you favour listening to natural music and natural recordings that is.The midrange is spectacu... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
A great read .It seems to me that what many people are wanting is a speaker that sound natural whereas most speakers sound too much like speakers and/or a bit too'hi fi".On the other hand there are speakers like the Devores,Audio Notes and classic... 
Solid State Preamp Under $8000
The Bakoon preamps sound superb.By far the best SS preamps I have heard. 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
Using a valve amp on speakers that dip down to 3 ohm and which are only 86.5 db sensitivity is more likely to be your problem.No preamp is going to fix that.I would keep the Jadis and try some more efficient 8 ohm speakers.
