Polk lsi 9 is about $900 a pair. Polk lsi 15 is an even better buy for about $650 more. Great speakers.
Dave in Dallas says, "Ask your readers to recommend a product within a specified price range they would buy today and why they would consider that product."<P>So, here goes: What speaker would you recommend to someone for up to $1000/pair—and not a penny more?
It is a little hard for me, because pricing in my country is so off the mark with what you guys pay. I'd recommend some B&W DM686s, ProAc Tablettes, Orpheus Aurora 1, MKIII, Whatmough Performance P25, or EPOS M12i. Hey—that's a lot of choice!
Aperion Audio Intimus 5Ts towers, $995/pair. Best speaker I have heard below $10k. I have a 6.1 system with 5 5Ts for SACD/BluRay and they are jaw droopingly good. Equal in clarity to my Martin Logans (Sequel ii) and have a better low end. Huge sound from a small speaker (foot print is about the size of a dvd case). Using a Denon 4308, and ps3.
Based solely on outstanding reviews about their imaging, dynamic range, and soundstaging, the Magnepan MMGs seem like a real bargain. I've heard their larger stable mates and if those qualities are replicated in their basic models, I'd agree they're a real steal.
