Help with Speaker Selection

You guys are great, thanks for the feedback. Curious what you would say regarding the equipment I'd be using to drive whatever I purchase, what this equipment would lack in sound quality against new electronics in the $3k-$6 range.

BTW, I used to have a pair of Duntech Crown Prince's with this system, and they sounded great, but sold them many years ago.

Klipsch Cornwalls will do the trick. Might even be able to find a pair of Klipschorns near your price range.

Your Nak equipment was good back in the day but any new equipment will be far better.

In regard to your question about your equipment, it will sound a bit dry and/or sterile, less expansive and a little hard (especially throughout the upper registers) without nearly as much "air" or "bloom" in the midrange and soundstage regions as current rate equipment comparably. This is why I suggested the Magnepans. Speakers like this which radiate from both the front and rear (called "dipolar") will always add "bloom", "air" and a sense of space (due to their rear out of phase additional sounds coming from the rear of the speaker) really helps compensate for some lacking sonic attributes of lesser (read older) electronics - particularly solid state.
