I do get it on the look to non mainstream makers gear to promote the industry, technology, etc.
another thing or two that is worthy of considerable thought at the OPs price range for ‘supposed’ speakers, are:
as with digital, speaker advances have been coming fast and furious just these past several years. .
meaning IF a budget for speakers is high, but it is the ONLY likely speaker buying budget for an unknown periood, say a ‘one and done’ hopefully ‘best possible ’ safari, I’m not too sure I’d want to be married to that proposition.
If the 50K circumstances may never repeat I’ve got to stay in the mainstream well established likely gonna be here speaker brands and models.
Dark Cherry, Rosewood, or black. maybe something ‘burrled’.
if the funding will recoup soon, then if something out side of the established brands intrigues me enough, then sure. I’d likely dip my toes in those waters.
Absolutely I’m all in!!! spend the bread man! spend it and dig it!! see if they come in Zebra stripes. leopard spots? or better yet, the ‘Matrix’ or Urban camo look.
always though, EXP showed me repeatedly its what’s up front that counts… and from these pages, the room matters and has to be a consideration.
big, expensive, gorgeous speakers are not all one finds at the end of the ‘audio rainbow’.
In Drag racing, if you have 6000 HP but can’t hook up with the track properly, you’ll amaze fans with perhaps an incredible looking race car and it might make huge burn outs, but you won’t win any races, and that’s where the ‘drag’ part of Dragracing comes in.
