3 best 10k speakers now imho


If I was about to pull the plug to replace my present Verity Audio Rienzi, I would consider those 3 contenders as my first choices.

1_ Revel F228BE
2_ Magico A3
3_ Spendor D9

I strongly believe those 3 pack the hardest punch right now at 10k.

Revel F228BE offers 2 x 8 inches bass woofers and a beryllium tweeter, this is a lot at that price level if you consider you have to go up to the Sopra 3 at Focal to get the same. Also ceramic composite drivers like Raidho, very light and stiff cone material.

Magico A3 has been compared favorably to Kanta 2 and Sopra 2 by online reviewers, Plus you get an all aluminum casing. Back ordered at dealers everywere, they seems to attract a lot of buyers.

Spendor D9, those are really special speakers imho, they are the « sleeper car « pair between the 3... often forgotten. Very quick and snappy, pratty drivers. EP77 cone material makes for a very natural midrange, a bit like Harbeth but without the thin wall resonating casing. Very nice soft dome tweeter also that has proven to be a musical, reliable winner for Spendor all these years. ( made from SEAS I believe)

What you guys think?

If you really want value, build yourself a set of Linkwitz LX521 or Linkwitz Orions.

You are so right!  I have the Orion's and they will compare favorably to virtually all other speakers, as will the LX521's. 

Though, I'd still prefer the Legacy Audio Aeris - the Orion's and LX521's are close, at a fraction of the price.
