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

Hstokar,

Unfortunately most (95%) of so-called high end speakers are very badly suited for classical music and practically if you are a serious listeners and do not just of spin audiophile’s classic pop (most of them, I would say 80% of them do). Thiel 7.2 is way out of game - this is typical hi-fi loudspeaker. Wilson Sophias are very ill-fated as well – the Wilson’s small speakers very problematic and thier older 6.x modules were way more interesting. Theoretically if you get old used Wilson 6.3 for near $6K then you might try to punch something out of them but it will be difficult. The small Wilsons will work more or less survivable ONLY in very specific rooms and ONLY very specific installed. It is very likely that they will not work in YOUR room, at least I never have hear any small Wilsons Sound acceptable, even if then were installed by the Wilson’s people. Still, I do believe that if the room conditions are right then the Wilson 6.3 might work fine. How fine it would be? Well, within the scale of $6K….
