Help Choosing Speakers


I am looking to find a nice pair of speakers that will work well in a relatively small dedicated listening room. My setup is 100% analog, tube amp, turntable, phono pre. I am trying to keep a minimalist approach.

Turntable: Thorens TD-150
Phono Pre: AudioResearch PH3
Amp: Decware MiniTorii
Speakers: DIY MarkAudio A12P in SuperPensil

Room Dimensions: 11' W x 12' 4" L x 10' H

So far I have been looking around at a lot of options and while I don't want to limit myself to 94 dB+ efficient speakers. I would like to be able to keep my Decware MiniTorii in place if possible.

LegacyAudio Signature SE is top on my list, little bit more than I wanted to spend, but this is a lifetime purchase. I have also looked at SalkSound Veracity ST but I am concerned about the Decware amps being able to push those. I have also looked at the Decware HR-1s which look impressive.

Of course its difficult to buy speakers without hearing them, any other recommendations/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has heard the Legacy Audio Signatures with a Decware amplifier and has any details, that would be spectacular.

Thanks,

Ron

Thanks for the response @nakamaye  ! I am going to be doing some research on amps this evening for sure.

@martykl  -- yep, and I have opted to keep the Spatials and look for a new amp. They are just incredible and worth focusing on replacing the amp with something that has more power but still just as musical as my Mini Torii.

Thanks for the input. I agree 100% with your observations.

Not to hijack a thread, but,Audiotroy, could you expand upon your description of the Zu as 'colored'. PM me if you wish.

Hifiron, congrats on your choice. I was hoping you would go with the Vandy's, but a quick google of the Spatial shows them to be quite a handsome speaker. I haven't listened to them yet, but your positive reaction has piqued my interest.
hifiron, FYI, there are some really good buys right now on new Anthem 225i integrates, at least still under warrantee.  For essentially $1K and the Spatials you would have what I think is a killer set up for 50% of what you were going to pay for speakers.  Some people probably aren't aware of the Anthem line, a Canadian company, that started out as Sonic Frontiers and I've always admired their no nonsense cost effective approach to audio componentry.  They were best known for their tube equipment and now they are moving towards home theater, but I am really impressed with the 225i.  At 225 wpc there is headroom galore for speakers and I think that headroom is valuable to control the bass on the Spatials.  Of course with the efficiency of the Spatials I find that my listening takes place at ca 9 o'clock before it becomes pretty loud but with my mc cartridges into the mm input it gives me plenty of room for gain.  The only caveat I have of the Anthem integrated is that the remote is not sensitive enough for critical volume control.  It moves in relatively large jumps and I've not figured out how to get smaller increments.  It is fine using my Nuprime DAC9 on digital playback as it has a really nice incremental volume control so I use it for fine tuning the volume.  Unfortunately for vinyl and tape I am forced to go to the amp to tweak the volume.  Otherwise I am eminently impressed with the Anthem and its full range of inputs and controls.
Just my pennies worth on an amp choice but I've always been into cost effective purchases.  
@gdnrbob yes, definitely worth a listen. It is worth mentioning they're very sensitive to listening position. For example, 1' from the wall and they sound flat. 1.5' and they have such an amazing soundstage that I would put up against speakers much higher in cost.

@nakamaye thanks for the input, I will check out that amp. Going to be a journey for sure. Looking forward to it!

Thanks,
Ron
I've been primarily using an Adcom GFA 555, and the sound and sound- stage are excellent. I've also used a Carver CM-2002, and I've played with a little APPJ 64N with surprising results. These speakers are so efficient they will work well with most anything. After playing briefly with the APPJ, I decided I like the tube sound so much, I've got a Primaluna Prologue One tube amp coming. These speakers should be an excellent match for tube amplification.
