I’ve had several speakers with Primaluna gear, to include Tannoy, Magico, Harbeth, YG acoustics, Revel, and Focal. The best synergy has been with the Focal Kanta range. These easily open up with a little power. The Kanta 2 used might be a little more than your $5k budget but are really nice with the PL. I have the Kanta 3s with EVO300 monos, and even one EVO300 in stereo does just fine with them. Used YG acoustics Carmels are around $5k or under, and also worked very well with the PL gear. They are very small towers, depending on your room one or the other speaker could be a better fit.
Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss!
I have a Primaluna EVO 300 with KT120s running into Rega RS5 speakers. When I use my tube Fosgate phono stage, the system is pretty awesome. ( Warm thick and alive).
Without the phono stage, the sound is a little thinner, a little less bass, and a little less alive. I've had my Rega speakers for almost 15 years and am ready to upgrade.
I listen to rock: REM, Nora Jones, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, etc.
I have an old Cayin Spark HA-1A EL84 headphone amp I listen to with Grado PS500e headphones. That's the sound I want. Thick and real. It draws me in.
My budget is up to $5,000. I'm good with used.
I'm dealing with limited space or I probably would've already bought the Klipsch Forte IV speakers. I need something no more than 12" wide. I'd prefer small towers, like my current Regas.
What speakers am I looking for?
