So my wife and I have been on the hunt for speakers in the $30K range. So many really great speakers! Going to audition the magico S5 this week.
Have heard and really like the Sashas, Marten Bird 2, and Vivid K1.
Have liked but not loved the Rockport Aviar, Focal Scala utopia, J.A. Pearl, want to hear again outside of show setings.
Have ruled out the TAD E1, Vienna acoustic The Music (didnt hear but "the kiss" didnt work for my wife), KEF Blade, Sony SS-AR1.
Have not heard the Vandy 5A carbon, Aerial 20T yet.
These will probably all be $40K by the time I hear them all!
but it will be fun traveling around and listening.
Really want the new YG Acoustics Kipod II passive, coming from the Carmels they would be our first choice, but not going into debt.
Anyway, this price range is really stacked with alot of great speakers. Something for everyone.
