$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?

My speakers are 25 years old, working fine for now, but who knows I might have to replace them at some point in the future.

The amp would be VAC Avatar SE 60 watt/ch all tube with onboard phono stage. Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm turntable and couple of tape decks.

I am thinking Proac maybe or whatever.

What is your current speakers and venue? Would be helpful to see them. It is easy to create a virtual system with a few photos... that would be really helpful. What are yours tastes in sound?

A nice combo would be the Devore Nines, the original, not the new Super Nines. They lack a little transparency compared to the newer ones but it your not needing the last bit of resolution (which you won't get at $3500) keep your eyes open locally. They seem to go for under $3000 easy.

Current speakers are Michael Green Audio Rev80i free resonance design. Let's say their sound signature is close enough to Grado RS-1 wooden headphones. I play at moderate levels, many kinds of music but not hard rock or big orchestras.

I don't tolerate bright or "stupid" hi-fi kind of sound. Midrange must be right or I won't listen. Going down confidently to 35 hz would be enough. Soundstage is very important, the space should be "heard" and felt.
