SPEAKER SUGGESTIONS

In my bedroom I am running a YAQIN 110B tube integrated amp with built in headphone amp. I am using upgraded Gold Lion kt88 tubes. Output is APX 50 watts per channel. The source is a Marantz SA8004 super audio cd player.
I just love the sound of this system using my Sennheiser HD650 headphones.
The sound coming from my speakers is not as good.
The speakers I am using are Pioneer SPB-S22 speakers.
I would like to get a pair of speakers with the same type of sound signature as the Sennheiser headphones I am using. What is your suggestion for new speakers? Will spend up to $1000.

Thanks
Dan

Call Walter at Underwood Hi Fi and buy a pair of Peachtree D5's. They are $999 and just a perfect speaker for the price.

I'm using an SA8004 in one of my systems - nice deck.

I've read some good reports on the Peachtree D5 speakers. Supposedly very good with decent bass.

Seattle Mike, I think you once had a pair of the Ascend Acoustics Sierra-2 speakers. How do they compare to the Peachtree D5s?

I had the d5's in my bedroom very nice speakers for what I paid for them.

I really like my Tekton 6.5t speakers. Unfortunately, he is not making them any more. Maybe you can get them used or ask him to make a custom order? The rest would go towards quality stands. I like them for monitors as they are lively and sound good 12" away from the back wall.

The Grand Tetons are 2x your original budget...

The Tekton 6.5ts were $600 new.
