| Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal Heywaj10,How big is your room? Any special constraints or considerations in where you would locate the speakers and where you will be listening from?Also, what equipment are you starting with and what is a realistic total budget to invest at this ... | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you Whatever Shindos I might buy for $20000 is another I might consider.Can $20000 buy a pair of Shindos with the field coil drivers?I don't know if they'd fit in my house but I would sure love to audition a pair of Jadis Eurythmies as well.

| Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal A high current SS amp will leave more speaker options open for you.I'd start with dynamic speakers that can move a lot of air yet still reveal delicate or intricate detail that will fit and blend into your room well and go from there.I'd recommend... | |

| Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal Yes, that is true, you don't want a tube power amp with the OHMs especially for that kind of music.Tubes in the line stage or source can work extremely well though I have found. Prog is one of my core genres I listen to alot. I listen to prog/meta... | |

| Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal OHM Walsh speakers matched to room size with some tubes in the source and/or line stage and a good high current SS amp.This combo will blow you away! | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? Marty,I think the most apples/apples comparison would be the full range MBLs versus the 300 or 5 Ohms in a suitably large room with an appropriate good high current SS amp driving both.A sat/sub OHM combo would be interesting to compare as well (I... | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I'd give the Avalons another listen to see if they are worth it to me or not.If not, I'd buy a pair of $5000 OHMs and do something else fun with the rest of the money. | |
