about Two years ago,
I decided that An upgrade is needed,
I had a Wilson Audio MAXX 2s (were retailed at 45,000$) and my "natural" choice was towards ALEXX or ALEXX V which is where I might have gone, if I had gone in the direction of Wilson anyway,
after a few Listens, Demos at costumer's home, who kindly hosted me and at my local's distributor's, quite a few speakers ,ranging approx. from $30,000 to $150,000 ,
and I really didn't intend to go crazy...
I wished that speakers of saying $50,000 would be able to move me and charm me and sweep me away,
but I didn't find any unfortunately,
had to increased the budget even reached the same amounts that I mentioned before,
The speakers that moved me the most, which speakers I'm with today!
I looked at many "names", among them quite a few names and models that appear here in this thread.
my Speakers Range depending on the version, between 70,000 euros to 280,000 euros,
my version is in the middle you could say, sort of..(Classic c3 with the highest KONDO internal CROSS & Wiring)
a relatively expensive price tag (104,500 euros), but among the best results I heard and moved me to tears!
No need to go crazy, suggest going to experience even the "basic version" (Classic C1)
Can also say that quite a few speakers (at my Local distributor) moved from the same "marketing names", to kaiser Acoustics speakers Not necessarily the Classic Kawero models .
choose wisely with your ears (not your eyes)
