In Reply to: speakers in around the $8k -) $10k range to better what I currently use? posted by bullethead on January 20, 2015 at 06:06:53:
You might consider looking at speakers that use high-end prosound drivers. One of the things you get with good prosound drivers is superb dynamics and clarity because they will just be loafing along even on your loudest peaks. Not that you "need" 10-20 dB of speaker headroom, like you don't "need" 600 horsepower run to the Piggly-Wiggly for groceries, but it does make it more fun.
Whenever I have been commissioned to do a set of custom main monitors for a recording studio, I have used high-end prosound drivers, not because the engineers will be listening at high levels for eight hours a day, but so the system will still be relaxing to listen to at the end of those eight hours. Listening fatigue would quickly take the fun out of the job.
Offhand I can't think if any "mainstream" speaker manufacturers that use prosound drivers, so you may have to get away from the beaten path a bit.

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.
