High value, giant killer speakers?

Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S . Sensational 

+ 1 for Maggie’s with a proper sub

Another vote for Maggie’s. The 1.7is are $2,200. I added a bass panel DWM to mine - all in at $3,000. They out preform speakers I have heard costing $20,000.  Use the savings for some good Class A or AB power and you are done. I bi amp my base panel and 1.7s for much bettter sound. Use Tidal HiFi with MQA for a source via a LUMIN. The whole system is under $10,000, and you blow away the $20,000 speakers - IMO. Queuing up Diana Krall as we speak!

Happy Listening!

Most all modern speaker cabinets come from china and even the most ambitious have some box resonance. I put my max at $10k then listened to the top 3 new offerings the C60, Kanta 2 and 3, and persona 3f, then started looking at what $10k would get me here used. I wanted full range floorstanders so didn’t try any 2 ways.There was a pair of Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' I could have had for $10k I let get away, but my experience with some other speakers had me concerned I wouldn’t be able to afford the amplification necessary to make them sing so when an owner of a paor of immaculate dsp8000’s accepted my offer I had no such worries and bought them.
