Their isnt the "BEST SPEAKERS for 13K" the best speaker is all subjective to public opinion, nobody could be the judge but your own ears. Go out demo a few pairs bring them home audition them, test them, compare room acoustics, your needs etc and then you can make YOUR BEST opinion.

Some have all the money in the world to spend on audio gear some dont however a 50k thousand may sound good but a well built, well planned system for under 20 t0 10 may blow the 50k system away. Is not how much you spend but how well you balance your system out, how well you built it for your own needs and remember room acoustics are VERY VERY important~!

Good luck~!

Succinct, to the point, and spot on!
When it comes to audio, truer words were never spoken.

So true. So many opinions/choices, I just have to take my time and go listen to the post suggestions thats been made. Its going to take a while, but itll be a worthwhile search. It makes no sense in getting rid of anything, just to replace them and keep that cycle. I already have some nice speakers on the way (SP Techs), and I have Merlins now. Basically I bought the Merlins just from the many reviews without hearing them.

Someone asked on another thread, Well what do you feel is missing in your system.. Im not sure, though I am an around the corner kind of guy, lol. Anyways.

Ill start there. Maybe hit RAMF someday if the wife allows it!

There has to be 50 speakers in this thread. No narrowing there. Thanks so much!
Mike

Hey!

Well, Mike/mcuallinan after you get your new $13K maybe you should do a Rave or Mini-Rave with your new speaker.

Take care,
Buddy

He don't need to live in IL. Shipping to NY is possible. Even with the cost of shipping, it's still a fantastic deal...

This is for P/U only, in Wilmette, Il.

I think he do need to live in IL.

I think you wrong. The seller says...

STEAL THESE for 10k delivered including packing, palleting, shipping, and door to door service via craters, and freighter's., in the continental USA. These would be well over 25k if ordered new.

I've got a very lousy room and a critical shortage of space. The smallest mini monitors are the only practical solution for my present situation.
