I wonder what's a fair price for a pair of tower speakers? Is $10k crazy expensive? $5000? People pay crazy amounts of money for some paintings so I don't see an issue paying crazy amounts of money for audio gear that looks and sounds nice. I visit Stereophile from time to time to see what's new but never bothered to read all the crap. If you are into audio gear/hifi there is 10% useful content though(i.e pictures, price range and measurements) https://www.listenup.com/shop/media/catalog/product/l/i/lilium_wh_1.jpg https://www.listenup.com/shop/media/catalog/product/l/i/lili... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_9_8lCDuL3Q https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_9_8lCDuL3Q

Having owned speakers in that range and listened to numerous pairs in the 5k range: a fair price is the price the speaker that sounds good to you costs. Measurable differences do not matter, what matters is your ear and your taste, both of which change over time. So whatever you do, don't buy anything based on reviews, go into a hifi store with a CD (or usb or whatever) with your favourite songs that you have a good idea of how you would like them to sound, and ask them to have a listening session with a number of different models. Then buy the pair that sounds best.

You can get a pair of Ascend Sierra towers for ~$2k. From an objective measurement standpoint you won't find anything substantially better than these at any price point.
