Best $3000 - $4000 loudspeaker?

Revel Performa F32

Vandersteen 3A Sigs.

Proac D15, only $3000 for a fun sounding, beautifully finished speaker. Check out the d25 is you want to spend a bit more to get a wonderful speaker with all the attributed of ones costing a lot more.

In my book, the hot tickets are the Gallo Ref 3, the Von Schweikert VR4-jr., and the new VMPS RM30. These are all terrific, state-of-the-art products, albeit very different designs. But I'd start with a listen to the Gallos, given the price and the superb reception to it.

All the above mentioned speakers are high quality stuff. I've auditioned the Totem Forests, Von Schweikert VR4-jrs and Gallo Ref3s recently and owned various planars in the past. But after much soul searching, my vote goes to the Hyperion 938s which I recently purchased. I wrote a review of the Hyps here, if you care.
