Opinions on speakers

Seadogs, I have demoed the Pulsar which is great and you know the problems I have gone through with Vapor Audio. Even then, the Pulsar can't match that RAAL tweeter. I would also put Salk on your list and maybe Selah.

Thanks for all your replies. We will be downsizing so I don't know the dimensions of the new place yet. My guess is a small to medium sized room. I like all kinds of music except hip hoop and rap. I like to listen at low to fairly loud. Right now my system consists of John Tucker modified Usher BE-10 loudspeakers driven by Belles Power Modules M-01 Monoblocks driven by a Supratek Cabernet Dual preamp and sourced by a John Tucker modified Oppo-95 player. I will keep the Oppo but the rest must go. The 4 piece amps and pre will be replaced by a integrated amp. I'm still researching on either a tube or SS unit. At the time I first posted I was unaware of prices so I guess I 've already eliminated several of my options because I want the loudspeakers to be under ten grand.

Clearwave symphonia 72R is another to throw on your list. Being a two and a half way it is fairly sensitive which will work great with a less powerful integrated, and plays well at both high and low volume.

Discalimer, I am a dealer.
