Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker?

I don't understand why the Vandersteen VLR CT's haven't been mentioned. To be honest, I was a skeptic, but when I finally got them it was game over. Add a sub if you don't want to place them near corners, but these little guys can rock. And, considerably less than $15K.

@deep_333 Thanks. I have a set of TAD 1603 LF drivers w cabinets, etc in work.. lots of options for nuance with no need for high spl…. unless all that beryllium impacts my hearing….

I generally don't mention things I haven't personal experience of, but the Thrax Siren sounds like a potentially excellent speaker in that price range.

Sonus Faber Amatori might fit the bill ...
