By my exchange rate calculations, these speakers are US$8,500 before taxes. I have NO idea why you’d post about them here.

You can buy used at lower price.

You can not buy good solidstate systems under $10k so the only right way is going for tube amplification + high efficiency paper speakers like Audio Note UK and Living Voice R25.

Ah, an altruistic Living Voice dealer.

10k system playing violin. Technics 1510 mk2 with Nagaoka preamp and Onkyo phono, pre, and power integrated.

All these videos below some can sound top end hard if played back on phone or cheap ear phones like Apple, but sound fine and representative if played back on a sound bar.

10k system on piano. Lots of background noise if been going off when door opens, and the shutter (scratching) to give the realism

If I posted this new product release earlier, forgive me.

These new European separates from Senna Sound are exceptional values. They will increase the 10K budget to 15K, but it will be well worth having analog solid-state separates with a tube-like sound profile and a speaker upgrade path. Created by Nemanja Cokic (and his famous tube designer Dad, Sasa Cokic of Trafomatic fame), the amplifier delivers 40 watts per/channel. The amplifier and pre-amplifier are roughly $7000. Add in a quality Chi-Fi DAC streamer and a pair of high-value speakers. Uniquely, the cabinets are made from beautiful and non-resonant Corian and come in several color choices.

As pictured, a phono stage is also available for vinyl lovers. I'm looking for some $2-3k speakers to pair with the Senna gear, so suggestions are welcome.

I would like the details of that system. The top might be a bit much for whatever reason but in general that is fairly confusing for the lack of tubes and so many other things, yet in video sounds better than so many 10x+ more expensive stereos in other videos. It's pretty clear why you made recordings.

For a budget of 10k USD I would be shopping for a Heed Lagrange S integrated amplifier with DAC module and a pair of Vienna Acoustics Haydn SE Signature speakers. Use the computer you already own to run Roon Core over USB (or buy a used Roon Nucleus). A bit left over for speaker stands and cables.

I shouldn't even ask but any particular sound bar? Some of them are crap too.

I use Naim Muso sound box. It’s very good, have had it for years. But I think Sonos should also work.i assume many of the people here are using some decent sound bar or Sonos or surround sound for their non stereo listening all of that should work

If we are going that way, fellas, here are two solutions that are more than a cut above in compact music systems from the respected German high-end speaker firm, Weiner Luatsprecher. 2X 250 watts internal 24/192 D/A Bluetooth 3.0. Check it out!
