Speaker advice - £4000-£9000

Interesting speakers DT. Have you only ever heard them under show conditions, though? Being only 92 dbl sensitive could suit certain valve amps, as there should be almost no hiss to contend with. One downside is they'd probably need a bit of space from a rear wall.

Yep, only at the show, but they sounded superb. I think you'd have to be careful with bass boom as you say. I suspect they're voiced with (enormous) Canadian timber-frame rooms in mind, which might explain their very healthy bass output.

Interesting design conceptually speaking, and built like brick outhouses. Me want!

i think that tannoy dul concentric speakers , the ones i am now using are the cantebury 15's they are awesome, i stil have a old pair of cheviot;s 12" speakers wich i will put up for sale.nando.
 
I've seen some Mezzo Utopea's for about £3-4k.

I doubt that has the berillium tweeter however.
 
Having seen how much the drivers cost in exotic speakers, I'd say go diy. Many £10k speakers can be built for £1-2k. Think what £10k diy will make you! Buy some Focal or dynaudio drivers and make or comission cabinets.

Or just bung a coil on the subs :D See how loud you can go without getting a tweeter cone in the eye
 
May I recommend Audiophysic Avanti mkIII speakers? Not horns, but sensitive, very dynamic and full range, beautiful cabinets and incredibly fast, detailed and everything a top end speaker should be.

Around £8.5k:

I know of a near mint pair selling for £4k delivered in person (within a reasonable distance of, um, my house ;) )
 
Something smaller. I really don't want to do it, but we've recently had a baby and I can no longer justify the luxury of a listening room, so I may 'slum it' with a pair of standmounts and a (to be purchased) subwoofer.

They're sensationally good speakers... among the best available, truly (I have listened to many, many speakers)...

...I just LOVE these speakers... but family must come first...
 
yeah, way out of my league - but the proAc response 1sc are very good speakers if you're looking for a small replecement...
 
I already have a pair of AVI Pro Nine+ monitors which are surprisingly decent speakers. Not quite in the Avanti league, especially in terms of absolute detail and dynamics, but very listenable and something I could settle on.
