Speakers
Preamps are the “heart” of a stereo system, but Speakers are, literally, the entire SOUL. By long consensus, speakers do more to determine the sonic quality of your experience than any/every other component of a stereo system. This MANDATES that you evaluate speakers in person.
For this reason, Boutique Audio Temple has curated what we feel are the finest affordable speaker systems – of their specific technology type – available. Planar dipole speakers for those desirous of their virtuous sound quality and who have rooms with some space. Dynamic speakers for those looking for an equivalent sound quality, but more flexible in terms of room placement. Both brands deliver award-winning performance unavailable anywhere near their price points.
Boutique Audio Temple offers these choices:
Eminent Technology LFT8C $5,600
A world-beating planar ribbon/electromagnetic dipole hybrid that delivers a true, “you are there” concert hall/jazz club experience at a price that we believe destroys similar speakers at twice the price or more. This is the speaker that supplanted our legendary Apogee Acoustics Duetta Signature speakers after 35 years! – ($4K new in 1990 – do the inflation maths). Once heard, impossible to forget. Driven by our curated electronics and sources, they really do “take you to the Jazz club or concert hall.” If you are a fan of acoustic folk, vocal, jazz, classical music, and well-recorded rock/progressive, etc., we guarantee you won’t find equivalent sound quality for less than $12K. Yes, they are that great – literally a lifetime solution.
Don't just take our word on it, read the TAS rave review of this 2026 Golden Ear winning speaker.
