Efficient Floorstander

For your musical styles, Tekton or Zu sound like a good fit (I am assuming you are looking for more bass than your current monitors provide). I'd give the Zu guys a call and tell them your needs -- they are great to work with. They also have a 60 day return policy, so you get a chance to hear the speakers in your own setting.

Hi,
Thanks for your responses. Bob, I'm looking for more bass foundation. The Twins are good, as far as they go, but I'd like to get deeper bass. I've looked into both Tekton and Zu. They both seem like fine lines. The Tekton Seas Pendragon? Too big in a smaller room? The Zu Omen Def looks like an option too.

If you like your current speakers why not consider a subwoofer which you could then sell if you move into a smaller space? If you decide on a floorstander, then take a look at Daedalus--a very efficient and musically compelling speaker. Not sure what your budget is but the Athena might be a good choice since it is Lou's smallest floorstander.

I just looked at the Daedalus speakers online. Wow! They're beautiful. I like the 96db. Unfortunately it's over my budget. (which I neglected to say) I have about 5k to play with. I'd like to avoid the subwoofer path, and go with a floorstanding setup. 30 hz-35 hz would be great. Has anyone heard the Acoustic Zen Adagio? They seem like an easy load on an amp, and they're front ported, so if I do have to go to a smaller room, they might be ok closer to the front wall. I don't know, that's why I ask. The reviews seem good, but, it's just a review. lol. I really wish I could go out and hear some of these speakers, but it's just not possible right now. So I'm kind of on a wing and a prayer!
