I wan't the best in this price range

Hello FriendsI'm after new speakers, with bass and slam??.my music taste, is rock, new wave, rock jazz, mail vocals etc!!At the moment I'm running a pair of Zu, souls MK 2, they were great with a tube amp, but I'm running them though a pair of Solid State mono blocks, 175 ohm per mono block, the sound is a bit on the harsh sound overall, but not on all recordings!!I have two, speakers, that I would think, would do the job, I will list them below!!, just keep in mine, I only listen to two channel music, not home theartre !!
1. Golden Ear Triton fives2. Definitve Technology BP 9060Both of these are available in Australia!!3. Eminent Technology  LFT-8bIf I just open a can of worms, so be itFriends Whats your thought'sRegardsDavid

The goldenears could well smooth out the harshness. I'm very satisfied with my triton 2's. I would recommend buying a pair used as they would likely fit your price range. The t5's with a sub would be nice too.

What are your options in Australia?  What is available?  I know you pay triple or double compared to US and Europe.  What about Australian made speakers,  why Import if you can get local.  My drive is not five hours like yours, but I have driven five or six hours to buy speakers.  Lot's of free or discounted shipping in the states, we have it easy.  I like Def-Tech better than Golden Ear.  Good luck on your speaker journey.

The recommendation of an Australian brand brings to mind the Red Gum line of products. I also reviewed for Dagogogo.com the Red Gum Articulata Integrated Amp. Very cool piece with stunning power to drive ESL speakers. 

You could look at the Red Gum Amplifolia range of speakers. You may need supplemental subwoofer with them. But, that could be added with time. I haven't heard the Red Gum speakers, but they appear to be designed according to well received template of smaller floor standing speakers with fine reputation such as Pro Ac.
