i second spendor(maybe s5e), for its outstanding midrange performance and polite though extremely tunefull bass.
Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?
I am planning to do an upgrade, and I would like to know which loudspeakers REALLY stand out in this price range. Please don't reply telling which loudspeaker you have. I want to know which are the true winners....I mean, those loudspeakers that cost a $1000 but sound like they cost $2500! Which are the "best buy" options that are a total consensus among audiophiles?
