Curious if there are any used or new (less likely) speakers out there that rival flagship speakers like Focal Grande Utopia, Rockport Lyra, Marten Coltrane Supreme 2, Magico M6, Raidho TD 4.2 or D4.8 etc?
I'll throw out a contender. If you look on ebay and the used market you can sometimes find a Von Schwekert VR 10 for around $18k CAD and from what I heard it can rival many TOTL speakers like the Grande Utopia. Do you guys have any thoughts?
Large JBLs (Everest DD6700) or the Grandinote Mach 9 as mentioned by Orenstein. Would also take the Rockports but the Grandinotes sound so natural and open and free. Their crossoverless design seems to "let the note go" like horns done well can approach, without the tweaking and downsides. Would love to hear the Martion Orgons too; I think they are around $50K.
