$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.

Just a question, how would used Vienna Acoustics fit in this conversation?

@2psyop   Salk has been out of business since 9/15/23. Eminent Technology manufactures only 2 loudspeakers LFT-16A and LFT-8B, and both are very inefficient not an ideal match for a 60 watt tube amp. A used JBL 4349 would be a much better speaker over any Tekton model for those about to rock!

I would listen to Vandersteen and Monitor Audio.  Different sounding, but both leaders in floor standing speakers that are not stratospherically priced.

Spendor A5 or D7

They do so many things right if you lean on a kaleidescopic sound stage, quick burst microdynamics and transients along with refinement and clarity.  Careful setup required but the user is rewarded.

I agree with this assessment. You said you’re looking for a description of the sound of recommended speakers. If this is the sound you’re looking for then these fit the bill.

No one has mentioned Revel F228 Be so I will.  They list at $10K but have been on factory authorized sale and used….could hit your price point.  Very capable, accurate and musical across genres.
