Best speakers 5k 10 k

The Legacy Calibre XD is the best speaker I've ever heard under $7k. It's a true giant killer that crushes $20k-$30k speakers.  The same thing applies as you move up the Legacy line. But the Calibre XD is truly something special.  Anyone in attendance at RMAF or Axpona can walk in to the Legacy room, listen to the Calibre XD's and walk around the entire show trying to find any another speaker that sounds as good for the price.  You probably wont.  

Also a fan of the entire line of Ryan Speakers, although it's a different sound.  A bit hot on the top end, but in a very very refined way.  

@essentialaudio I've heard several Ryan demos using Aurilac streamers and Vincent Audi amp/preamp combo at quite a few shows.  I spent a lot of time in their rooms because I like their reps and I dig the sound.  Most people at the show described the top end a bit extended and a little hot, but in the best way possible.  I actually enjoy it.  Not strident or shouty in any way.  

I have to conclude that this must very system dependent, because some reviewers had called Ryan speakers neutral, while other have commented that they are anything but. All positive reviews on both sides. Many people describe the top end similarly. Not in a negative way, I definitely plan on adding some Ryan speakers and GR research DIY gear into my collection this year.  

Ryan was using Cardas cabling in a lot of their demos.  Make of that what you will.
