Help Choosing Speakers


I am looking to find a nice pair of speakers that will work well in a relatively small dedicated listening room. My setup is 100% analog, tube amp, turntable, phono pre. I am trying to keep a minimalist approach.

Turntable: Thorens TD-150
Phono Pre: AudioResearch PH3
Amp: Decware MiniTorii
Speakers: DIY MarkAudio A12P in SuperPensil

Room Dimensions: 11' W x 12' 4" L x 10' H

So far I have been looking around at a lot of options and while I don't want to limit myself to 94 dB+ efficient speakers. I would like to be able to keep my Decware MiniTorii in place if possible.

LegacyAudio Signature SE is top on my list, little bit more than I wanted to spend, but this is a lifetime purchase. I have also looked at SalkSound Veracity ST but I am concerned about the Decware amps being able to push those. I have also looked at the Decware HR-1s which look impressive.

Of course its difficult to buy speakers without hearing them, any other recommendations/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has heard the Legacy Audio Signatures with a Decware amplifier and has any details, that would be spectacular.

Thanks,

Ron

Lots of great stuff here... need to continue to do some research on Zu...

Assuming I keep the amp, so far promising speaker options are:
  • Decware HR-1
  • Legacy Audio Signature SE
  • Legacy Audio Classic SE
  • Living Voice Auditorium R3
  • Living Voice Avatar 2
  • Zu Audio Omen Def Mk.II
  • Zu Audio Druid V
  • Reference 3A Edition BE
  • ProAc Response
  • AudioNote AZ-2 (Corner Loaded)
  • Tekton Brilliance
  • Tektop Seas Pendragons
Tomorrow will be full of research. Thanks again for all the discussion, have a great evening all!
Note: I do like the Radian tweeter on the Zu speakers, the Omen Def Mk.II can have that tweeter added, the Druid comes with it.
Ok so made some great progress on the research. There is an audio store close that has Vandersteen 1Ci speakers. Going to bring them home today to audition.

Resetting the price point as well as normalizing efficiency has brought me to a much smaller list of speakers to look at.

Decware HR-1
Living Voice Auditorium R3
Zu Audio Omen Def Mk II w/ Radian Tweeter
Vandersteen 1Ci

I might be in the market to upgrade to Torii Jr or Torii Mk IV and potentially a pre-amp.

Progress!
