It will help to provide Jim some guidance on budget. In my experience, his speakers represent great value. I currently own the BePure2s, which I would compare very favorably with speakers I have owned costing 2-3 X their price. Also owned the Song3s, a $3K (at that time) speaker that compares favorably with $6K speakers from other manufacturers. Much of this value-added may be attributed to Salk's customer-direct business model.
There is one other aspect that I find attractive for Salk speakers, that is, the ability to participate in their creation. What I mean by this is the ability to choose a specific wood veneer. Take a look at the post, "Jim sent this picture..". Jim and his team create works of art that perform beautifully as musical instruments (transducers?). Neither aspect of his products- musicality nor appearance, happens by accident. Jim is a craftsman.
Finally, as suggested previously, talk to/email him. Tell him what you listen to, what your room is like, etc. He is open, honest and far better informed that most.
