I am in this price range and my short list is : Joseph Audio Pearl 3 and Vienna Acoustics Music.
Both awesome can't decide yet. I had Amati Anniversario but Joseph Pearl3 smashed it in my home audition. IMHO JA Pearl3 and VA the Music are much more speakers for the money and above their price range. |

I'm not sure if this thread is still open, but I'm in the market myself for speakers in this price range. The speakers that I've heard in this range that I liked and would recommend auditioning were the YG Acoustics Carmel 2, the Magico S5, and the Vandersteen 5A Carbons. I recently heard both the Carmel 2 and the Magico at the Newport THE show in May. The Carmel 2 had an outstanding soundstage, truly impressive for a 2 way speaker. The only limitation was less extension into the bass than some of its competitors. I've heard Magicos set up well and not so well, but the S5s were in good form at the Newport show. The Vandy 5A carbons were not there, but the 7 MkIIs were there and were a candidate for best sound in show in my opinion. (But at >$60k, not within the same price range as the others). Good luck.

This is an interesting thread and the most appealing thing about it to me was the comment about how helpful the dealer was. I am biased because back in the day, I was in the business. To me the single most important part of buying anything high end is to pick your dealer wisely. If you look at the list of speakers considered by the OP, it is clear that every one of them was outstanding. Honestly you could stand in the middle of a circle surrounded by these speakers, blindfolded and spun to dizziness, then pick one at random and not make a bad choice. For me the crux of the matter is, what is available from the dealer of choice in my price range, then pick from that field. Saves a lot of time and potential aggravation. I know some people like the adventure of the quest too, and that is OK, but I still advocate shopping for a dealer first, then shopping for the stuff you want. YRMV
