I'd also have to submit another vote for Merlin. Not only are they amazing for all forms of music thrown at them, they come with THE best customer service in the business. This can't be overstated or over valued; bobby palkovic, their designer, is a true asset to the audio community. You should give him a call at the merlin factory. Even if you are considering purchasing them used, as I was, he can offer a tremendous insight, as well as recommend other brands of speakers that might be to your liking.
Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used
I currently have an upgraded pair of Thiel 2.3's that I have been happy with but am now ready to upgrade. I plan on listening to the Thiel 7.2 and the Wilson Sophias. I was wondering what others I should seach out? For 'classical' music only - big orchestra to solo instrument
