Full Range under $5k-ish


So the time has finally come to upgrade my speakers. I mainly listnm
 to vinyl with the occasional CD or AM/FM radio.

Here is my current setup:
Clearaudio Concept w/Concept MM
Parasound Halo P5
2 x Carver TFM-35x (bi-amp)
Definitive Technology BP-2002TL

I would like to stay under the $5k-ish mark.

Klipsch rf7lll's. I've owned many, much higher end speakers, but with McIntosh gear, I absolutely love them. Especially for your room size. Rock and roll!
For around $5,000 ,
I would look at TEKTON speakers and a pair of Tekton subs..
and possibly upgrading your amps to a tube variety, Quicksilver, Decware, VTA, Don Sachs..


I have on order a pair of Double Impact SE’s at $4,500 (2,000 off MSRP) , These are going to be hard to beat for the $..
They are on sale right now, and since I didn’t want the mirror finish on them Eric gave another $1,000 discount..

I’m upgrading from the Tekton Seas Pendragon’s..

My system for reference :
Apple TV4 (streamer) —needs upgraded—
Oppo 205 (DAC-CDP)
Denon DP59L (TT)
Decware ZP3 (phono pre)
Decware CSP3 (preamp-headphone amp)
Decware ZMA (35 watt PP amp)
Tekton Seas Pendragon (speakers)
Tekton Cinema (18” sub)
Cullencable loom (silver plated copper)


I'll throw my vote in for ProAc. Have owned a pair of DT8's for almost a year and have been very happy.

JM Labs Utopia, older floor standing models, maybe a little above $5k, though they would outclass everything else in your system. Match with cables would be important, more than on average, or they will sound bright and forward. Don't know how low at how high db level they go, but you could find this information. Not easy to find, I guess. Very different sound compared to Vandersteen, as an example.
