"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"


I'd appreciate some advice from those experienced with great speakers. I'm hoping that this thread will be valuable to lots of others, as well.

On to my question: What are the best value speakers you can buy on the used market in the $5k-$10k price range? I think it's time to get into something world-class for music, and I've found that in each area of life or hobby, there are gems available that might not carry the most popular brand name - or be the latest fashion - but that do deliver the best performance for the money.

I'd appreciate recommendations from any resident speaker gurus. Thank you!

In answer to your original question; I'd suggest Dunlavy SC VI's. Now regarding your 20 X 20 room; that's a whole 'nother challenge.
In this price range (new), I'd look at Vandersteen Treo or Quattro. Both are made in USA and sound fantastic. I'd also consider the Revel F208 or F308.

@audiowoman: I heard the Idea at RMAF 2011. They sounded really nice! I own an AX-7e and suspect it would be an excelllent match for the Idea.
"These look nice and they sound great. Cost 8 grand new."

Ahhh, ok.......

Now you (don't) see 'em, now you don't.......
