Category: (2022) Stereo Loudspeakers Under $5,000

Price: $4499 per pair

Dan said: If you just want a quick answer, then yes, I would heartily recommend the Atohm GT1-HD.

Read the SoundStage! Hi-Fi review.

The gist: Plays big and comes from a boutique manufacturer.

Focal Aria K2 906 Loudspeakers

Details
Parent Category: 2022 SoundStage! Network Equipment Buying Guide
Category: (2022) Stereo Loudspeakers Under $5,000

Price: $2398 per pair

Website: www.focal.com

Diego said: . . . given all that a pair of Focal Aria K2 906s offer, visually and sonically—at just $2398 per pair—I can’t help but enthusiastically recommend these wonderful French loudspeakers.

Read the SoundStage! Hi-Fi review.

The gist: The only real flaw is a slight lack of bass.

Reviewers' Choice

Read the SoundStage! Simplifi review.

The gist: The original was good, and this update is better in most every way.

System Audio Legend 7.2 Silverback Active Loudspeakers

Details
Parent Category: 2022 SoundStage! Network Equipment Buying Guide
Category: (2022) Stereo Loudspeakers Under $5,000

Price: €1899 each

Website: www.system-audio.com

Gordon said: I suspect that there are many people who would love to have an audiophile-grade music system (or maybe even a surround system) in a multipurpose living space, but find it impossible because of room layout. For them, the Silverback active on-wall speakers might be just the ticket.

Read the SoundStage! Simplifi review.

The gist: Comes up a little short on the software side, but not a dealbreaker.

Totem Acoustic Kin Play Tower Powered Loudspeaker System

Details
Parent Category: 2022 SoundStage! Network Equipment Buying Guide
Category: (2022) Stereo Loudspeakers Under $5,000

Price: $2250 per system

Website: www.totemacoustic.com

Gordon said: I very much doubt that you could match this performance in a system comprising an amplifier and pair of passive speakers with a combined cost of $2250.

Read the SoundStage! Simplifi review.

The gist: A little quirky but ultimately very satisfying.
