Picked up the audio physics caldera ii for 3500. It's an older speaker but rarely see for resale. Well reviewed in 1998 when they came out. Same drivers as the Wilson Watt. Original list near 20k. Really like them now that I have an amp to drive them.
What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
REAL WORLD PRICES
Considering AudiogoN prices - You can buy many fantastic used $20,000+ Speakers for under the magic $10,000 level.
This is really a different topic than previous questions in this forum.
I've bought Avalon Eidolons, Joseph Audio Pearls, Wilson Watt Puppy 6's and others for (slightly) under 10K
I would love to hear from other A'goners their opinions on what are the best you can do - for under 10K (Or even a "little bit more").
Thanks for sharing your opinions!

Can it be a used REL B1 sub to go with a new pair of monitors? (-: I have not heard a number of speakers listed here but I have heard a good number and did very extensive auditioning two months ago. I auditioned a new speaker that made me switch from "Dynguy" after following and owning the brand for many years. After I heard them I was in love! Ordered on the spot over two months ago and my dealer says they may make it by Christmas or at least New Years! The new KEF Reference 1 stole my heart this time. Really an incredible speaker and the best that I have heard within my budget. I plan on leaving some nice whiskey for Santa early next week instead of cookies and see what happens? A pre-Christmas delivery would be awesome as I have been in queue for two months as they bring production up in England. The first review it seems: I think he likes them? I have the REL and I'm ready to go! http://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/807-kef-reference-1-loudspeakers Happy Holidays all! Rick |
A pair of well-kept JBL K2 S9800SE's at or slightly above $10,000 would be if not a steal then a "competitively priced" and very capable alternative to most anything out there - depending of course on ones personal taste. To my mind the S9800SE's are speakers that haven't received the praise and attention they deserve. Perhaps many an audiophile would hold in scorn whatever resembles the sight of a horn fitted to a compression driver and/or a 15" driver (not least acting as a midrange), and while this driver combination arguably sets itself apart sonically to the more common driver configuration used in "hifi" speakers in general, I'd wager this direction holds more pro's than con's - for several reasons. I find below linked review (of the non-SE edition) illuminating on the overall sonic nature of the S9800's: http://www.ultraaudio.com/equipment/jbl_k2_s9800.htm |
