Best speaker for 6 grand max.

What a mix of opinions! My vote would be on a used pair of Dunlavy SC IV/A's. They beat out speakers costing 2 to 3 times as much. Good luck.

I agree that the Dunlevy line is excellent, don't spend your money until you have auditioned the Dynaudio line. The sound quality is excellent as well. If you can find a used pair of Duntect Soverign's in that price range, they are truly world class. Good Luck

At only $4k, the Dunlavy SC-III is a steal. I will be reposting my light oak SC-IIIs soon at a price of $2400 plus shipping.

The Dunlavy SC-IVa is hard to beat if you have the space, but don't rule out a set of SC-IV's. The money you save could go into a great set of cables.

I'd look at the new Thiel "2.3 - 1" and a couple of Velodyne 15" remote control (used if you have to). Recording engineers are so freaky with bass these days that you simply MUST have control from your seat. The new baby Thiels can sit atop the subs and are really cute. Happy listening!
