Okay, here is the list I have now developed.
Brands
-Paradigm Founders 100-$ 5.5k-New
-Salk BePure2 -$ 6.2k-New
-SoundKaos -$ 6.0k New
DIY
Troel Purifi 6661 $4.0+Cabinet Build Cost Est. $2.0k = $6.0k New
Madisound Sasandu -Includes Cab. (You attached speakers + XO)= $5.3k New
Resale Temptations Currently floating about.
Used-Graham LS 3/6 Floorstander $5.5k Only listened to this brand at Gig Harbor Audio where they worship the brand.
Used-Salk Song3 Encore S- $3.5k Has a Be tweeter I like but have not heard the speaker otherwise. Will be at Axpona.
I have to be able to place the speaker within 18" of back wall so OB and ESL are out.
I listen to Acoustic, vocal and Jazz for the most part.
I listen 55-70db max
Room is well treated. Mid -sized.
Amp is Pass Labs 25INT so sensitivity should be 88+ and not dip below 4ohms.
I may bi-amp the bass once Ralph offers a Stereo option class D next year?
I have also been in touch with a custom speaker builder who uses Accuton ceramic mids, AMT Tweeters, two 8" woofers. $6k with top guts.
It will be a month before I can audition one of these but I am intrigued.
Open to other thoughts!
