For $4,000 a pair, I recommend you consider
Salk Veracity HT2-TL speakers. These are some of the very best speakers I've ever heard - without qualification. They are a fairly new design and haven't yet been reviewed. I own a somewhat similar but less expensive pair of Salk speakers, the SongTowers. They have been reviewed here at
Audioholics and
here,and
elsewhere. I wrote up
my own impressions.
At $4,000 you can get a pair of HT2-TLs in any one of Salk's standard veneer finishes, curly maple, curly cherry, curly walnut, mahogany or oak veneers, or black satin finish paint. See
a few examples here. For extra cost, you can get any exotic veneer finish. Jim Salk does superb custom finishing.
Jim Salk runs a Internet Direct business, no distributors or stores, and none of their markups in price. He is excellent to do business with.
