Considering the best full range speaker in the $30000 range. Any suggestions, new or used? Until now, I'm researching the following: -YG Acoustics Anat Pro -JBL Everest DD66000 or 67000 -Wilson Maxx 2 or 3 -Tannoy Kingdom Royale -Focal Grande or Maestro Utopia
I guess the question that I would ask is whether you also intend to upgrade or change your electronics. I have become partial to low power SET amplifiers that, of course, require careful system matching.
This really won't be very helpful unless you provide the characteristics of sound reproduction that are important to you as nobody will be able to say why they're recommending a particular speaker specifically for you. You certainly have a diverse range of speakers on your list though. If holographic imaging and soundstaging are important to you without being overly detailed or overly warm I'd highly recommend auditioning the Joseph Audio Pearl 3. Might be good to audition something with a ribbon tweeter as well just for reference -- maybe the Acoustic Zen Crescendo although that comes in new at half your target price but may be worth a listen anyway. Best of luck.
