your favorite speaker sub $10,000

[trEs2b]

Can be used or new. Just want some opinions on what you would buy with that amount of money

I'd shoot for a discounted demo model of KEF Reference 3 pair.

Without a doubt I would go with this:

The problem is, however, I would want (4) of them. Of course, I first have to win the lottery. But, hey I am working on it......LOL!!!!!

I might think about two JBL LSR6332s and eight Hsu ULS-15 mk2s, that system would cost about 10k. That would get you an extremely flat response and strong bass down to the single digit frequencies.

I'd say go for it, man!

bump?

I don't think I like the aesthetics of the RBH brand.

Going completely against the grain here. This is based off my experience, not someone I've seen recommended or touted as a great value product.

Thiel CS3.7 is the best sounding speaker I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. At this point you wouldn't be able to buy a new pair since they went out of product shortly after Jim Thiel's passing.

Two favorite speakers for less than $10,000 per pair.

Philharmonic 3 (for a lot less than 10k)

Salk Soundscape 8 for 9k, more with custom finishes

They don't look similar, but they share the same designer, and sound like siblings.

 

[TheWarrior]

I will second the Philharmonic 3's!

Think somebody here wrote a review of them, too....

 

[tyhjaarpa]

Genelec 1038B is best sounding speaker I have heard on this price range. KEF Reference series sounds really nice as well.

 

[KenM10759]

It appears there's confusion in the terminology used in the thread title. Because the word "sub" is used so frequently here in discussing subwoofers, it's confusing when someone uses the word in place of "costing less than".

To be clear, which is it that you are referring to, trEs2b?

 

[trEs2b]

less than $10,000

 

[trEs2b]

I enjoyed the 804D3 but that is the most expensive speaker i heard (except for the 803D3) which sounded GREAT!

 

[KenM10759]

Where are you located? Are you actually, actively shopping or just seeking opinions because (like me) you plan to win the lottery?

Over on "the other site" there is a thread in the speakers section that's "will demo speakers" and people have listed their systems and general locations. If near any of them you might be able to hear some nice speakers. Mine wouldn't be in that strata but are available for a listen to (almost) anyone interested. Some vetting required.

 

[trEs2b]

I am actively shopping...

 

[KenM10759]

Cool. So you might head over to AVS forum and look for that thread in the speakers section. Depending upon where you are (I still don't know), there may be good shops near you that you're not aware of or other people with good systems in place willing to have you come over to sit down and listen.

I would look towards Tannoy DC10T

Given the total number of speakers available in the price range (and not just the ones up at the $10k limit), I'd be listening to everything I could. Maybe PSB T3, KEF Reference One, Klipsch Palladium, Salk Soundscape 8, B&W 8043D3, PMC twotwo.8, so many more out there.
