The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers


Hello

I have started the "speakerjourney", where I want to be able to decide for _the_ speaker for me. I rather save up and spend some more and hopefully live with one of these speakers for a long time.

What are you guys opinion on the following speakers? Have anyone several of them?

The only thing I have now, that I want to build a system from, is a Modwright Transporter. I am going for a digital based hdd-source.

*Evolution Acoustics MM2
*Von Schweikert VR-7
*B&W 800 Diamond
*Burmester B100 Reference
*Rockport Mira II Grand
*Focal JMLab Maestro Utopia III

I want a speaker that I can live long with...be able to play all different kinds of music, and recordings without running out of the room because of "sharp/ringing highs"

Thank

You are all over the board, the Maestro's are ~$50k, and the 800's are like $24k.

All are good speakers in their own right, but you need to go listen to them as you will be the one living with them!

I have heard the 800's, VS 7's (don't like these at all) the Burmester, and Focal.

I went with the Sasha W/P's though the Focal Maestro's were my other choice, YMMV......... I didn't hear the Rockports until after I had pulled the trigger on the Sasha's but they would have been in the running, not sure which way I would have gone as Rockport makes some insanely good speakers.
