Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
@mrdecibel  I appreciate what you are saying. The Klipschorns  will not fit my space.  I don't have defined corners plus not sure I would want to use all that space if I did.  The JBL's are high on my list but have decided that I now do not want t... 
Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio?
I am not as versed in the digital side of this hobby but have an NAD M51 DAC that I have been wondering if I can do better.  So I suppose I am back in the hunt for a do it all DAC that can make a CLEAR difference in the sound coming from multiple ...

It looks like after an extensive search (although I have several more to audition)  that the Paradigm's are leading the pack in terms of value for me at this point.   I will say that the Tekton DI's are very (tempting for the price especially) and...

Those Focal's do look nice (especially when you can pick up a used pair for $8k)  and they get great reviews but not sure where I can listen to any near me.  Definitely on the list.

Devore looks a little to bulky (footprint issues) ,  I don't have the "room" for magnetic ribbon drive speakers based on my furniture layout and other logistical issues.  Plus I like to sometimes push speakers to their absolute limits which is not...

Wow, that Eminent technology lft-8b looks awesome!  Especially for the price.  I am leaning towards the Persona 7f's at this point but did hear a Watt Puppy 6 that was MUCH better than the reviews might indicate.

So I listened to the Persona 9H and the 3F this weekend and wasn't overly impressed.  Plenty of high-end equipment running everything (PS Audio BHK amps and PS Audio DAC).  I even brought a few SACD's as a reference for myself .  It may have been ...

Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
So I am going to listen to the Paradigm Persona's and the Tekton's tomorrow.  I am hoping to go listen to several others mentioned if I can find them in my area. I have to say, that LX521 looks very interesting.  I usually don't like the goofy min...

audiokinesis , Duke I would love to hear what it would take to optimize the soundstage over a large area!  Technically my listening room is an upstairs open room on one side that has a loft type staircase on the right side where the right speake... 
MC300 MC252 MC501 recommendations based on my setup
Thanks George.  I just pulled the trigger on the 501's so that should do the trick! tlong1958  if I could find a set of 4367's for less than $10K I would probably do it.  My only concern is footprint.  I am pretty cramped along the back wall of my... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
Oh, and in case I didn't mention it they will be driven with MC501's or an MC352 with some version of Mac's tube pre. Currently I have a C48 that will likely be upgraded.  Am I wrong to think that a larger speaker in most cases will have a larger ... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
I wanted to know what represents the absolute best speaker value in terms of sound (& resale) that fits in the $5k to $15K (actually more like $13K) category.  Soundstage (sound envelope) is very important also.  The footprint being smaller (m... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
I have several suggestions that I am interested in hearing and at the top that list so far based on what I have been reading is the Legacy Audio Aeris.  I don't like powered speakers but the comments on how much the room correction makes a differe... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
Okay, so now we are getting into something that is definitely important to me .....  sweet spot , sound stage , over all stereo sound envelope is important to me and willing to pay more for it.  I have always wondered why so many audiophiles were ...
