36K for a set (14K for the LS1, but you can later on fully upgrade to the LS1be should you wish to!).
Add a source (streamer for example), power cables and interconnects and you're good to go! Absolutely full range! I cannot imagine spending less on a system with separates that would equal this set! I am in a very good place with our living room system as it is now, but if I were to start all over again, I could see myself installing 3 LS1bes as fronts and center and a pair of LS1s as rears and call it quits! Yes, this system was that good. Every classical music fan knows the dynamics in a classical recording are immense, but the Grimms had no problem whatsoever to let the brilliant recordings shine. When I closed my eyes, I was (almost) in the Concertgebouw, listening to a mighty piece of Stravinsky. Slam, weight, power, it was all there, without loss of delicacy and subtlety. Qua live experience: the 5.0 recordings bested the 2.0 ones by a really large margin. Here you see the working tools of Porter, with notes on every page of the scores. Of course, in a live recording, you often have noises from the public, or sometimes little mistakes from a musician. Porter demonstrated how to mend that; he can also fit a piece of another evening's recording into the main one if it's better.
