Looking to upgrade from my Goldenears


Greetings!

i currently have a Pair Of Goldenear Triton 5s with two JL Audio Dominion 8” subs. They’re powered by a Parasound Halo A21 Amp and P5 Pre-Amp.

I’m looking to upgrade my speakers and have been looking at the Legacy Focus or Classic Speakers.

i listen to a wide variety of music, but mostly Hard Rock and the Grateful Dead. A lot of live stuff. What Speakers do you think would do well with my Amp?
My budget would be up to 7k for the pair.
thanks!

some thoughts

bass slam is all about 50-70 HZ, no AMT driver is gonna get you there.....try something you can adjust to the room with variable Q ( try .8 to .9 and flat which you can do with a speaker w powered bass and 11 bands of EQ....

also, IF you are a deadhead you have some idea about the unique wall of sound and the unique panorama that provided....purposefully by the artists....and then think about mixing up all that excellent L to Right focus by solashing the sound around the room with an omni....
NOT saying that is wrong in a phasey multitrack world....just think it thru an listen...

I can get great Phil L punch and growl out of my Cornwalls also..I run them with a MC240

As you might recall the first Dead PA was 4 x MC240

Have fun !!!!!!!
