| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? Like roxy1927 said, buy used so u can demo at home. For larger rooms the Usher Be 20 DMD is fantastic, legacy Meridian DSP 8000’s, for average size rooms D&D comes in first. Dali Epicon 8, retail $25k used $11k. Haven’t heard the NS5000 but tr... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I only heard a used pair of affordable maggies in a little 10x10' room at a local dealer, but for the $600 he was asking I was impressed! The kind of magic those speakers were making is generally reserved for the $10k and up club. | |
| Use escrow service to pay for speakers? As a seller I won't ship without the money to a private party and as a buyer I only shop in an area I'm willing to drive to. Consider paypal fees and shipping costs and it's often just as cheap as working with a local shop. | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. i have a pair made in 2020, so originals. Mine are powered by a c49 and pair of Mc611's and I don't hear any reason to change. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I would love to demo a pair of Tekton speakers. I don’t know anything about the science of speakers, xover slopes, time alignment or any of that stuff manufacturers load their marketing pitch with, but I do know markup on speakers can be insanely ... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW Very nice, if you have room for them. | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? I really got my money’s worth from the first 5 releases. | |

| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. I have the Kef Blades at home and listening to the Epikore 11’s, both speakers driven with quality Mac components. I found the Dali’s to have better mid-upper bass that filled out the mids and richened up the sound a bit. The bass is full and arti... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I don't have a problem with a product manufacturer defending his products, but he likely knows nothing good will come from it. My generation was enticed into hifi by Cerwyn Vega's with 15" woofers and a bunch of big boxes that dept stores had li... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume congrats!!! | |
| Mcintosh C2800 and C55 I have the c49 and was considering swapping to the c2700 and now will need to compare them. | |
| When will McIntosh update the C2700 with the C2800? This should mean discounts on the c2700 and c53!!! | |
| Help . . . I’m dumber than my active speakers! I know the active dsp speakers (I own a pair of Meridian DSP8000se) have the advantage of measuring perfectly, but sometimes I wonder if it's the non linearities in speakers that set them apart, what makes me favor one against another? does the ... | |
| My end game speaks. I have a C49 and pair of MC 611's driving a pair of Kef Blades and am consistently wowed by the presentation. My room is 17x27x7'. The most recent 'expensive. speakers I've listened to excel with Mac components are the Dali Epikore 11 if you pref... |
