I have been working on a similar list with pretty much same specs.

So far on top:
- Sonus Faber Guarneri Tradition
- TAD ME1
- Gauder Akustik Berlina RC3 (Diamond tweeter)

A new black horse joined the list last week: ELAC Adante AS-61. They’re much more affordable than anything else on the list, and I have not been able to verify yet whether they are as good as people say.

Just to add a fifth, should Magico introduce an A1 standmount (starting unsubstantiated rumors here [emoji15]), that’s probably what would end up in my summerhouse.

Excellent, very much interested in your views.

I’ll check them out at High End.

I’m hearing they don’t sound nearly as good as they heard at the canned demos. YMMV.

The Duetto isn't too expensive at all. It really performs at the level of the others listed which are 2-3x $$$?
 
Has anyone heard the Amphion Argon 3s? I haven't heard any of the speakers mentioned on this thread so far, and I'm sure they're amazing. Just wondering how what I already have compares.

To me they sound great, and compare well to some of the reputable full range I've heard, including Aerial, Focal, NOLA, B&W, Wilson, ML. Just wondering if this is the right next place to invest in an upgrade; ie. if the improvement will be significant enough.
 
Hoping you-can add details on your listening experience with the Gauder Akustik RC-3 diamond. Thanks.
 
Are the new sonus faber guarneri traditions better than the guarneri evolution or mementos? Looks like a smaller speaker with smaller driver, more for near field listening. Any thoughts?


thanks!

I thought the Evo’s were superb. I haven’t spent enough time with the Tradition to fairly comment.

Raidho XT1
Raidho C1.2 (might be close to max budget)
Totem Mani (latest version)
Dynaudio C1
Stenheim Alumine 2 (Is it within budget I think so but maybe not)

Depending on taste I think the Stenheim is a great speaker. The Dynaudio can sound great but is really demands a lot of the amps.
