Thread: 6 Exotic, High-Performance Speakers

I have listened to Wilson Audio and the Focal's in person. Simply amazing. Of course there was additional hardware that went along with them.

I had a particular attraction to the Sonus Faber's for their rich sound and exquisite cabinet work.

I personally love anything Meridian. I've had the 565 in my surround setup. Meridian can make just about anything sound good.

In my world, it takes about $12k to get into speakers that begin to blow my mind.

yup...my goal is to build a room around a pair of watt puppy's someday, that's not too unreasonable Not that I wouldn't be happy with any of b&w's 801 or 802 series made in the last 15yrs

Oh sure... those would be fine for the car... but I wouldnt want that junk in my house

You and me both! I have always loved the wilson slam! They can make your ears bleed while sounding more accurate then most. Watt Puppys w/ transparent tails and Classe front end. That would do it for me for many many years!

wow~~180k for a pair of speakers?? that's crazy!!

I am all Sonus Faber and Krell for the moment. Loving every minute I sit in front of the set up.

That Wilson set-up is ugly, for 158 grand it better blow the panties off every girl in the room.

^Reminds me of that ending scene in the Italian Job.
