Which speakers are the best for playing vinyl(within $10,000 ;D), in a room thats about 20' x 15'?

You have 10k to spend on speakers?

First off, it really would be personal preference. Depends on what type of sound you like.

I would need more info. Playing vinyls like djing? Or putting a record on and just listening for a couple of hours?

DJ speakers v audiophile speakers in where I am coming from.

dj speakers.

Personally, i'd pick up two mackie SRM450's and a sub, call it done. that's a fairly small room.

I would ask first if you are going to use them to point toward a crowd and use them as party speakers, or are you going to use them as monitors?

The mackies are good for filling the room with loud music, but you would be much better suited to get some good reference monitors if you want to listen for quality. Alesis M1 active are quite good for this. You can even get some cheaper floor standing speakers to point away from you if you want it louder in the room. Don't skimp on your monitors if you have that much to spend.

TurboSound TQ - 440

The TQ-440SP is a three-way self-powered full range enclosure incorporating integral amplifiers and control electronics. The use of active power amplifier technology ensures an exact match between amplifier and speaker for optimum acoustic output, and offers exceptional ease of use by having the entire electro-acoustic system in one convenient, easily transportable physical package. It incorporates a custom-designed dualconcentric 12"/1" driver in an optimally tuned vented trapezoidal enclosure handling low and high frequencies. The critical midrange frequencies are handled by a proprietary 6.5" cone transducer on a 60¡Æ by 40¡Æ horn, loaded with a TurboMid¢â device. The exclusive use of cone transducers in both the low and mid frequency bands guarantees a seamless transition at the crossover frequency, with the result that all of the critical vocal range right up to 8kHz is lower in distortion than compression driverbased designs. In addition the 6.5" driver is a highly efficient device, and is able to handle large amounts of amplifier power. The remaining high frequencies are effortlessly handled by a 1" compression driver, which is subjected to minimal mechanical stress. The mid and high components are physically time aligned within the enclosure, ensuring perfect time arrival at the listener¡¯s ear. When compared to conventional designs, the TQ-440SP is able to offer higher SPL, significantly lower distortion, and unsurpassed vocal projection capabilities in an equivalent sized physical package. A rear panel switch selects optimised profiles for speech and music applications, enabling real flexibility of use. The birch plywood enclosure is supplied with integral rigging points, kelping brackets and a standard 35mm pole mount socket, enabling its use with many different types of flying hardware (refer to the flying and lifting section). It is finished in black semimatt textured paint, and includes a steel mesh / reticulated foam protective grille. Flush side handles are provided for lifting and carrying. Line in and line out connections are provided on 3-pin XLR.
price: $4106.00 each USD

Electro Voice Plasma 1

The Electro-Voice® Plasma P1 integrates premium EV transducers with high-power Class-H amplification and signal processing to provide an outstanding combination of sonic detail, SPL, and ease of use. A EVX155 15" LF transducer uses a Kevlar®-reinforced cone with RMD® driven by a 4" voice coil for well-defined transient response, while maintaining articulate vocals at all SPLs. A proprietary ND6 compression driver with a 3" diaphragm and 1.4" exit provides extended HF response with very low distortion. A Class-H two-channel amplifier requires no fans for quiet operation, low maintenance, and long-term reliability. Coupled with signal processing for linear acoustic response and unobtrusive protection, the amplifier delivers the power required for high-level reinforcement. Dynamic linearity is another benefit of amplifiers designed for system integration with large-format transducer motors. L-track is embedded into the Plasma P1 to provide convenient multi-axis suspension and attachment points for an optional suspension arm. The very compact multi-angle enclosure can be used either in monitor position (in left and right configurations) or arrayed. The Plasma P1 is acoustically designed for uniform coverage in both horizontal and vertical planes adding to its versatility. The P1's applications are for where the highest quality sound is required: theater, A/V, stage monitoring, and sound reinforcement.
price: $3400.00 each. USD
