Devore Fidelity (from New York) and Qualio (from Poland). I have the O/Baby's - though for 15k you could go higher- much higher. Qualio have the IQs - semi open baffle. Again for your budget you could go much higher. Another speaker I have heard but not owned is Vivid. Unusual looking but great sound and bass. Some are more than 15k, some you could get in your budget. UK/South African. |
There is plenty to suggest there will be a real challenge found to better these Speakers at a given budget. An Upgrade Route can be extremely beneficial, the Xover can easily be showing signs of age. An investment in this area is a practice that can create a listening experience one could not imagine was possible. Investing in a selection of the most recognised components for their quality will create a Xover redesign for approx' $400ish. Speakers costing $1M are unlikely to have the components in a Xover the DIY option is able to select.
