I just grabbed a pair of Usher BE-20 DMD speakers that list for $18,000 new I got for less than 1/2 price in vgc. BIG. Love the look, 3 days into listening so to soon to judge, I'm enjoying how dynamic they play.
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!

@steve59 there is a new Confidence line so I expect the prices of the previous generation to crater. Dynaudio uses 1st order crossovers so the sweet spot tends to be pretty small. They sort of off-set this with a relatively lower crossover point of around 1.8K, but that's still a bit too high to mate a 1" tweeter with a 7" woofer, around 1.4KHz is much better like what Klipsch does. When you are in the listening window they are very very good I agree, but in larger rooms they are going to sound dark due to dispersion issues. |
https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9be89-lansche-audio-no-3-floorstanding-speaker-like-new-reduce-... If you like Jazz vocal this speaker will be best with pristine treble out of plasma tweeter. With high efficiency, it can be driven by 300B SET amplifiers. I had been happy with larger model Lansche 4.1 since 2007. |
For less than 9k you can have a new pair of Charney Audio Companion with Voxativ AF 2.6 drivers. Your choice of cosmetic design with the wood used and paint colors. Very engaging sound with deep bass that envelops the listener and draws you deep into the music. If you can get to NJ very worth the audition. http://charneyaudio.com/ |
