Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range

Bose 901 series 6 after you put these EVS ground enhancers tweak on the 901's !! WOW !!http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=87635.0

Sorry, I gave you the wrong link for the EVS ground enhancers above... http://www.tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/EVS_Ground_Enhancers.html

Hi Mike, Thanks for pointing that out.

After the review in Abso!ute Sound a few months ago, I wouldn't buy anything in that price range without auditioning the Pioneer TAD-CR1 Compact Reference, at about $36K. Make sure to leave budget for their dedicated stands, as the spkrs weigh 100 lbs each.

I haven't heard 'em, but the review sure sounds enticing. I get the impression that these have the speed to keep up with the electronics driving them. With a frequency response out to 100 KHz, their rise time should outpace just about every other speaker out there.

Finally, someone familiar with TAD. My local dealer, Audio Video Logic (an A-Gon member) just picked up TAD. I got to spend some time listening to the big TAD Reference One's and oh my Gawd, these are the real deal in every way. If I had the cash and the space, these are the speakers. AVL also just picked up the $60,000 JBL Everest's and I much prefer the TAD Reference Ones's (although the Everest's absolutely take control of anything you throw at them).

Before you go with Magico, or any others, check out TAD...
