If you can afford it, go for it. You're not ever going to be completely satisfied until buy them. It is far better to go with your gut, rather than wasting your money on several other brands of speakers on your audio journey.
$35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why?
I am contemplating purchasing my End game speakers. The ones that catch my eye are the Magico M3, Magico M project, Stenheim Alumine 5se, Rockport Cygnus and the Songs Faber Amati Homage G5. My system consists of An Aurender N20 feeding a MSB Technology Premier Dac with Premier powerbaye. Preamp duties are handles by An Audio Research Reference Anniversary and amplification is a pair of Lamm M 2.2 mono blocks. I currently have Magnepan 3.7i's. I love their transparency and inner detail but they do not play in the low registers. I do not want separate subs.... My room is mediums sized. I listen to mostly soft pop, classical and some light rock. I am trying to walk the thin line of tranparency vs musicality. I would enjoy some suggestions and some sound reasoning behind members choices in speakers. I do not want this to morph into a bashing thread. Please stay on topic.

Is playing darts in the dark! Has anyone on this thread brought home a pair of speakers that ended up sounding like they did in the demo that attracted them? I went to axpona again this year, most rooms over used subs to the point of making the demo useless. Being familiar with several speakers on display {having previously or currently owned} I still wouldn't have been able to pick any of them out of a lineup. All those cautions noted I only really left interested in the JBL Summit Pumori retail $30,000. |
@soix , I’ve heard those Josephs too and wholeheartedly agree. They are fantastic. Would be on my short list. |
Very comprehensive summary of comparisons. I’m looking at the sonus amati g5 and maybe the Supreme. I biamp with solid state for the bass and tubes for the other drivers. I really like that a lot. So assessing vocals is very difficult unless you have this type of set up. Curious if they focused on any of this in any of the listening rooms you were in. Also what are your thoughts on biamp approach. I currently use MC901 monos and Bowers 802D3 speaker. I think it sounds really nice but I’m thinking of upgrading speakers. I like your commentary because it provides a lot of interesting ideas, and maybe I need to explore other possibilities. Mostly use my setup for home theater and also for stereo listening but mostly home theater.
