... each.9. ELAC VELA FS409 >> @$3700
17. KEF R11 >> @$2200
Yarp... those B&W's prices are also for "each" .It's shite-y of crutchfield to post prices for some speakers @Each and others @Pair!
My bad!![]()
I've heard good things about them, and I love how they look, but objectively they're not that great: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...-hdi-3800-floorstanding-speaker-review.21738/JBL HDI 3800
As a fan of pointlessly large speakers, I like those, in particular in black:View attachment 243313
They're not really available anymore, but the Heco Direkt Dreiklang used to be around 4000€ and are true full-range floorstanders.
Little bit on the bulky side though.
They were 1995€ each for the longest time: https://geizhals.de/heco-direkt-dreiklang-schwarz-a1673363.htmlBut were they ever 4000€ a pair?
This one here, link was wrong.
I've heard them, the 100s, and really liked what I heard, very good sound. I listened to them at the same time I heard the Monitor Audio Silver 500 7Gs and thought the Founders were better but of course more expensive.Paradigm Founder 80F is listed as $4,000 for a pair.

Has anyone heard these speakers?
Specs read well, design seems robust and the brand has loyalty.
The finish supposed to be 'gorgeous' but that means its beauty is included in the price.
Not really a good suggestion from an objective point of view.Sonus Faber Sonetto III 3500 euro a pair.

The cover does affect the sound, intentionally. The same is used on the tweeter and they call it Phase-Aligning (PPA) lens. You can read about it on their website.That cover on the midrange is really odd, hard to believe it doesn't affect the sound adversely. I mean, it's possible, but hard to believe.
At the same price I would go with the Revels, even though I haven't heard them.The revel F208 is coming in around that level now. Hard to pass up - it measured slightly better than the F228be.
