Speakers for 15K - Discounts

Markup is higher on cables than anything else. Cheers,

Call all authorized dealers see who will give you the best price.

Forget spending $15k on this.  Build the Linkwitz LX521 system for 1/3rd the price, get a loudspeaker at least as good and likely better, and being this is a DIY project, you'll have much, MUCH more enjoyment from your system.  Spend your $10k savings elsewhere.

Or... you can just go buy your loudspeakers the same way you buy furniture.

Very good advice russbutton.

If you DO go with the LX521, you'll need that $10K you saved; a pair of them requires six channels of amplification! A better option is to get a pair of GR Research OB/Dipole Subwoofers (it and the woofer section of the Linkwitz are similar in both being OB/Dipole, but the GR includes the Rythmik Direct Servo-Feedback system, which produces far better bass than the woofers in the LX521), paired with Magneplanar 3.7i or Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeakers (or any other planar speaker of your choosing, whether Magnetic-Planar, Electrostatic, or Ribbon), requiring only a single stereo amp (the woofers are self-powered).
