Hello fellas, i might be looking for a new speaker systems and need some of your guys brains. The Grand is so far the best i have heard by a margin, but the system has these shortcommings.

1. When fully up and running takes alone 24KW of power upon turn on.
2. Has 8 Krell power amplifiers which, lets face it, is insane.
3. Requires over 100m2 room

Now, i know of Audiogon, High End Palace and Higher Fi.

My price is about 50K give or take on a new uses speaker. Currently i am possibly considereing Von Schweikert VR9SE, VR10MKII, Genesis 1.1, possibly Soundlab Majestic (but thats too tall). Any pointers to other interesting systems?

PS: It aint a joke ;-)
