Why don't you spend an additional $500 and have an extended week-end in a big city. This way you can audition -almost- all of your choices. You can take your own favorite music, and, if lucky, you may get a set-up close to yours. Suggesting brand X or Y to you is bad advice. After all, as you mention, you would be stuck with these for a long time. After all, $15k is a lot of money.
Advise Needed, Best speakers for approx $15,000
Hi There,
Cary 306/200
Pass X0.2 Pre
Halo JC1 Monoblocks
Musical Tastes mainly pop, female vocals, old and new rock, some heavymetal , some dance.
Room is 30' long X 20' Wide. Listening distance is 10'
I have a budget of about $15,000.00 to play with. Looking for speakers that are dynamic,coherent and have good bass extension and slam along with all the other usualy hifi qualties, transparency, detail,openess and imaging.
So far have been seriously considering:
JM Labs Utopia Alto's
Vanderstenn 5A
Meadlark Blue Heron2
Other possible choices:
VMPS RM/X
Something from Kharma
Revel Studios or Salon's
B&W Sig 800's
Wilson WP7
I live in small city , I can audition none of these locally. Loooking for advise, opinions on the last speaker I will buy for a long time.
Thanks,
Magoo
