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

I bought the little known Tribute speakers ,the Bud Fried Towers Transmission line 
SERIES CROSSOVER . I ordered with the upgraded crossover. 
VH OIMP capacitors ordered with 1% quad matched, Jantzen Copper inductors,Path audio resistors . all matched under 1db total this has to be requested at time of order only 2 resistors,and 3 capacitors in total .
Fantastic results dual 7inch Peerless Nomex drivers, and the hand matched 
Hiquphon Tweeter matched to  within 1/2 db, all drivers from Denmark
The timing and coherence is Excellent for little over  $4k with standard outriggers 
35hz to 25khz rear transmission line Beautifully streamlined Salk cabinets.       45H x8.5W x14D.
A little known hidden gem if bought  with this crossover .Parts connecxion the only one carry that These great precision resistors,check them out.
Absolutely! The Spatial M4 Turbo S's will be here on Saturday! The Vandersteen 1Ci's as well as a 60W Ayre AX-7 on Saturday as well.

I will be doing an audition of the 60W zero negative feedback SS amp as well as the Mini Torii. The Vandersteens will have to go back on Tuesday but I should get a good amount of hours in.

Stay Tuned!

Hello Ron,

I work at a great dealer, in NJ Audio Doctor, and I would like to chime in . Your room is really too small to do justice to the Legacy Signatures, the Cailbres would be a much better choice. The Legacy speakers are a fantastic buy and offer incredible performance for the money, we are dealers for them.

I would encourage you to consider that a great pair of speakers will be with you for the next 20 years if you choose wisely.

The Zu speakers are way too colored and although are an interesting speaker I think you can do way better.

The new Paradigm Persona bookshelves are the best new speakers on the market below $20k! They use the most advanced drivers currently on the market: a pure Beryillium tweeter and a pure 7 inch Beryillium midrange/bass driver, no other company not even Magico, Wilson, YG or any of the major uber loudspeaker companies offer a speaker with this level of driver quality even in $20-4ok speakers, and the Persona B cost $7k not $20k!

The new Persona B are 92 db efficient and can be driven with a small amplifier.

The transparency of these compact speakers is breathtaking, and they are incredibly holographic, with very tight well defined bass out of an elegant compact enclosure, I would give these a listen.
