My budget is open but not bottomless. As it is now I am looking to change out the front L,C &R and would go into the $10-12k area for the 3 but not if I can't hear them 1st. I am looking to possibly replace Triad Inroom golds but they need to be more revieling and dynamic in my room which is a large multi task living space, 16x25 with 9ft ceilings.
I have drove 8hrs by myself and then again flew with the wife across the state to listen to these and others in the same range B&W, Klipch reference, Sonus Faber, Wilson Audio etc. I live in Pa and have been to every audio store from Pittsburgh to Erie to Cleveland and they have mostly the regular name brand B&W's, Monitor Audio mostly and those stores are very few mabey 3-4 left. Most have closed due to the economy down turn regardless of what the news wants to spout.
So while spending another couple weekends doing the drive or fly to audition thing isn't something I have a lot of free time to do right now and the "Covid" issues also pose issues too.
Currently the ones I'm interested in are different then what I have now, HEDD TM80, PMC, Bryston, JTR, Seaton to give you some idea of my thoughts.
