Classic speakers to hunt down used

Another classic of yesteryear you may consider is DCM Time Windows.

What is the budget? My wife is a classical musician played professionaly , a violinist. She was quite taken with the corect timbre of a Consonance tube amp we ran across. And I personally like the VR1 bookshelf but its probbly too bright for you my wife insisted on the VR2s which are floor standers. If you have a small room the Omega sngle drivers and thier other speakers are magical with a small tube amp by SQ which is a brand distributed by Stephan Monte if you live near Philly audition them. Otherwise call Quest for Sound an A'gon dealer he will set you up with what you need. He carries inexpensive stuff as well as real High End but don't worry he is a super nice guy not snobby all what you can afford he'll have.

If you have SET's. the EV12trxb will be incredible...Lively, dynamic, with a midrange to die for...and not very expensive. I also have some Tannoy Monitor Gold 12's and they sound great with anything driving them, but are many more $$$$.

The best buy I made in bang-buck ratio is the ADS L-700 and Braun L-810. One of the best tweeters around bar none. They also sound great no matter what I drive them with.

Whart,You should not be surprised about going from stats to horns.They both have the same magic ingredient and this is that they energise the air in your room.Box speakers just don't do this.This is why people who pay $60000 for Avalon or Wilson speakers are missing the point.
They need to go and listen to a violin or cello up close and personal.No box speaker can capture the energy and dynamics of these.

Try the Jensen CX series as they're very nice sounding.
Works great.
I've noticed that bigger the HF horn, the more forward it would sound.

The EV 12TRXB cast alum ones are good too.

Keep in mind that these drivers allow you to adjust amount of HF to fit your room. This works perfect in almost any room. Wide open and superb for any acoustic music ( just average for the exaggerated techno music but fine with disco.)

I use the rectangular GRF cabinet design and modified it to fit these drivers.
