Full range speakes for VAC 30/30 Renaissance MK III with CAT SL1 Sig Mk III preamp w NOS.

You know I have NO idea how they do what they do but I came lastly from Fritz Carbon 7SE that are spec’d at 38hz.& in my room & system the 30.1’s are as full,deep & tight as the Fritz but have an edge in tonal purity & slay the Fritz in low level resolution & detail retrieval..Despite specs, an 8" woofer in this size cab should make decent bass & I have NO desire to muck up mine with any sub!I will also say that in all the years and systems I’ve had,never heard rock/blues/jazz bass with better tonal resolution..I mean in the right recording you can not only hear into the steel string but deeper,down into hearing the sound inside the string bends as the finger slides over the peaks & valleys of the string winding itself!It does however take a superb recording to hear this kind of resolution & detail but if it’s in the mix the Harbeth will let you hear it..
Again how big is your room?My room is 16’x14’ & that is about as big a room as I would use the Harbeth..I don’t know how to explain why 30wpc.is enough power but I am the only guy here that has run Dynaudio’s with 10wpc.Class A..I believe it comes down to listening habits & with mine I have just NEVER had any not enough power issues starting with 10wpc.pure class a tube.....Sure there is a loudness ceiling with low power but if it’s clean at normal levels & if the amp can push current it can move the drivers & make music..Think about this..If you can get the M30.1’s for $3350.00 delivered which I think you can if seller is motivated,there is NO way you get stuck with them if you don't like or lose money reselling them and they won’t last long...Gently used Anniversary 30.2’s have sold recently for $4500.00 delivered which I think is a fantastic bargin..Don’t forget to budget for stands..I use the 24" $200.00 Pangea 4 post filled with spray in foam sound deadener...Puts the tweeter with 1"+- of my ideal listening chair height..Eventually you will want to upgrade speaker cables & I wouldn’t skimp..I’m saving for Nordost Heimdall 2 at about $2000.00 used..

What a stirring review freediver!  They sound amazing!  The  measurements of the listening area within the larger rectangular room is 14.5’ W x 14.5’ to listening position with 22’ more open space behind the listening position.  (I’ll eventually try “twisting “ the listening area ninety degrees sideways at the end of the room.  IDK how that will work out.  Doesn’t sound very symmetrical as one side would be open.)  Please reassure me before I submit a bid that I should  have a decent amount of loudness in case the speakers and song are begging for it, because it sounds like they will be able to make louder levels enjoyable without ear fatigue.  That would be an amp issue though and not the speaker, unless I need a higher efficiency speaker.  Any thoughts on this matter will be greatly appreciated. I do hope someone will address listening levels before I commit.  I’m very grateful for all the help guys. 

All the reassurance I can give you is to say the ONLY way I give up my 30.1’s is to move up to 30.2’s..Everyone hears differently & every room sounds different..As long as you are not trying to rock out in the kitchen 35’ away loudness should not be an issue & if it is maybe you should consider your hearing...Read the reviews & read through threads here..As you said this is a gamble since you can't demo..Your amp is the thing,tough to match,it doesn't like big impedance swings or phase angle's....You might want to research the Verity Audio Finn..There was a pair of demo’s here recently for $3250.00..Don’t know if there around & they would be a good match..I would also stick with the orientation firing down the long axis so you can control the early reflections equally & it should help kill echo or make it easier to kill.

There are some Verity Finns for $3,000 but in white.  91dB.  Which of the two would you choose if you want want I described.  What I really want is what you described.  I wish I knew more but you certainly seem to, so what’s your suggestion please?

...and no, I won’t need to be far away listening haha.
