and Rockport is a US company right? based in Maine I think.
Guess it will take some time before they start popping up over here in Europe... I think these and the CR-1's are gonna be the top picks... |

+1 Tads or Rockports... what a choice... truth is probably any of your shortlisted speakers could be the start of an extraordinary system... may best just be a case of going where the heart takes you

I have been looking in the same price range, and I agree with Miles that the Sashas are something special, as are the Aviors. If you want to save a little money, I would also strongly recommend Dynaudio, but so much of this decision is subjective that you'll have to listen for yourself.
If you're going to be in the northeastern U.S. before you decide, I highly recommend calling Paul Chambers at Goodwin's High End in Boston. They carry Magico, Sony, Rockport and Dynaudio (among others), and it would be worth making the trip and spending a day or two listening to those brands. They don't carry Burmester, but they do have Soulution, Boulder and Simaudio, all excellent solid state brands for a listening session. I know they have the Q3, the C4 and the SS-AR1 available for demo, and I believe they're going to get the Avior. And there are dealers nearby that carry Wilson and some of the other brands you're considering, so you could make a holiday of it. Last edited by VT Skier; 01-26-2012 at 09:39 AM. |

IMHO I would suggest to include the TAD Evolution-1 and Magico S5 into the list. They shall be available in 1Q2012.
The Marten Django does not reach the USD30k mark but still worth to be considered. |
