Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)

GE Triton Reference.  Stereophile Class A rated with extreme low bass.

I see all the Tekton fanboys took over this thread.

No, not really. I care less if someone wants GE speakers or not. I mentioned them because they fit his price range and I am familiar with them. Not a fan of the GE Triton 2 and on down, there is much better out there. However, I thought this would turn into another endless Tekton thread. Sorry to hurt your feelings but I don’t like Tekton, so if that is the way this thread is heading, I will bow out. I see you didn’t harp on "missioncoonery" for his complaint about the Tekton here, why is that?  Happy now?  Clear enough?

Are you still using the Carver Speakers you recently purchased, or moving on?

I understand the Gold Note XT-7 speakers are supposed to be excellent from the reviews I have read. I have never heard them but I did own a Gold Note phono cartridge and loved the sound. I believe there was an ad for them here by parts xconnection or something like that for 10K off, they retail for 17.5K

Sour Grapes? Now I know who had my post removed. I buy my equipment for me, not to impress you or anyone else. My McIntosh equipment will last long after most come and go boutique audio company’s are long gone. The fact that both my systems put a smile on my face when I listen to them assures me that what I bought is right for me. I have 50 years in this hobby and sold audio for a living for 15 years so I do know a thing or two about audio. Although I am sure myself or anyone else knows as much as you.

While you may think you are an audio god, you are far from it. Perhaps you should petition Audiogon to give you your own forum. A good title would be “Blowhard Bo’s Corner”, where the answers are very long winded, but say nothing.

If I had a much bigger room , instead of the GE T REFs, I would have a pair of the Legacy  Aerius with Wavelet.  I heard them at Audio Classics with my Mac amp driving them.   All I can say is breathless.

With those Power Guard lights flashing, that amp is putting out somewhere around 750-800 watts RMS as the MC501 has 2DB of headroom.  I am surprised you didn't blow your eardrums out.  I run an MC152 with GE Triton Ref speakers and with the meters at -3db and no power guard lights on, I am getting 108db SPL and it is waaaaay too loud!  You must have a huge room.

"Will you continue audio without a real foundation......."

Will you please go away and not bother us with your long winded dribble in 2019?

@gene3x............It’s nice to know the Grammar Police are doing their job.

I'll say one thing, if I walked into an audio store  with the intent of purchasing speakers there and bo1972 was my salesman, I would run out the door as fast as I could.  Too much information sometimes isn't good.
