Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood?
I’ll vouch for the Legacy Focus SE’s. I certainly love these things and it’s taken a lifetime of trial to find them. If your game to come down to Ohio to have couple hours listen, you more than welcome  
Songs you use when auditioning gear
The Cars Albums Supertramps Crime of the Century Alan Parson Eye in the Sky     
lyngdorff 3400
Lyngdorf Room Perfect is really good. I had Marantz and Lexicon before and its much better. At least to my ears. I have a MP 40 but the room correction is the same as the 3400.    
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
I vote for the Legacy Focas. I have them, love their rock and roll ! I'm powering them with Legacys V series amps. 1000 Watts. I tried a set of Tekton Double Impacts but did not like the tweeter array. They were a good speaker, just not for me.   
Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!
Legacy Focus Mains, Marquee Center, Phantom Surrounds, Deco Rears, And 4 Foundation Double Subs. with V*I5 and V*I2 Amps  The Lyngdorf to process them works wonders   
Robert Plant
This band is incredible. We go see them every year when they come through town. Have tickets for them in February. Sells out EVERY show.   .    
I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k
I have a Lyngdorf Processor. Absolutely love it. Sounds incredible with great workmanship. My votes for them. Good Luck and Happy Hunting    
Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it?
Sent back Tekton Double impacts. That tweeter array was not for me. Instead ended up with Legacy  
Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
50 years of experiments and head banging. When I found Legacy, the hunt was over. My complete 7.4  Legacy system (Lyngdorf processor) has cost me as much as a new car, but I love it, and consider my journey OVER.

Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps?
Through the years I've went from 80 watts, to 140, to 200, to 300 and now at 600 and 1000 Amps. (Legacy IV 2 and IV 5 Amps). At normal listening, like a movie at slightly spirited volumes there is a difference, although slight. TURN it up, like li... 
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
I don't know what it is about this site a lack of knowledge of Legacy Speakers. They build systems for Sheik's, all the way to systems like you're looking for. Do yourself a favor and at least give Bill a shout. I have one of their lower systems a... 
If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers
Really surprised no one's mentioned Legacy.
