What speakers for 10k?

I've never heard any vapors so can't say. They seem like a very nice product. No idea how many pair have been made and out there but I think they have only been around a few years which might help account for scarcity used. Seems like a solid product one can build around with success just not a huge track record to date.

Would like to hear them someday plus the build quailty is supposedly top notch.

The thing is unless your room is exceptionally large the world is your oyster for speakers with 10k to spend. Not to say there are not products that cost more but for most people's home applications the additional utility that might be present with some products probably does not matter much. If all else is done well. Good sound is a team sport. Speakers are key but can't do it all alone.

You guys don't look to carefully enough . There was just a pair of Cirrus for auction a few days ago, and I have seen 3 or 4 other pairs of Cirrus. I also have seen a pair of Nimbus within the past couple of months.
Does anybody have an idea what the auction pair of Cirrus went for? Just curious.

I'd recommend getting to a show if possible. This is Vapor's main business model: shows, forums and word of mouth. Which seems to have worked very well. They are consistently mentioned in best of show reports. But no type of speaker is for everyone. While not in ideal settings, shows give you a great idea of what flavor best suits you.

take a look at Nola KO; I drive them with tubes and solid state; they never let me down.
