Thanks everybody!

Lots of good suggestions here. I've listened to different speakers the
last days, and I'm really impressed by Martin Logan's Summit Speakers.
But I haven't bought anything yet. I will be using the new speakers in
my living room. The roof height is 6 meters, and the room is 80 square
meters big. Please come with more suggestions!

Kalman Rubinson: the price is no issue. And I mean no issue. If it
will cost me $200,000 , that's okay, as long as it will get me the
best possible speakers. I've got some questions on why I'm rich, and
the answer is internet marketing. If you want to earn a lot of money,
and be able to buy the speakers you want, you can join
www.mackthemillionaire.com,
if it's not too late.. Hehe!


Good for you.

Now, there are many speakers one might suggest but you need
speakers that will be capable of filling that space and/or
use multiple speakers. Assuming we are talking about 2
channels only, I would suggest looking at powered studio
monitors from PMC and ATC, if you can tolerate their rather
plain appearance. In addition to the ML's suggested above,
look into B&W 801Ds or 800Ds, Cabasse La Sphere and the
larger speakers from Wilson, Aerial, Avalon, Dali,
EgglestonWorks, JMLab, Revel, mbl, Meridian (generally only
with Meridian Electronics), SoundLabs, KEF Reference, etc.

The list is long, even though I have kept it to speakers I
know, because (1) once you get above $15K or so, the price
is not directly correlated with performance quality and (2)
personal taste becomes the over-riding issue (as it always
should be). Thus, you need to get to hear these before
choosing.

I'm surprised, Kal, that you don't make a pitch for surround sound. If he
wants to do it right, he needs *five* of the best speakers, and a sub to
boot. Why does a top-end Thiel system come to mind?
