Looking for warm sounding speakers

Looking for upgrading my present speakers (ADS L 1090) with something more modern. My preference is tilted towards warm sounding laid back speakers not aggressive in the mid range and not hyper detailed.
Electronics consist of RA opus 21 cdp, Symphonic Line Tube preamp and SS amp (130W/ch).

Want to remain in < 3K price range used or new.
Thanks

Definitely check out Sonus Faber. One of the sweetest, warmest speakers out there. Wonderful midrange, very smooth on the top end. There are quite a few pairs and models for sale here on audiogon in your price range. I don't think the ADS will come close.

Great electronics and a/d/s were certainly some of the best speakers I heard back in the day. Sonus Faber certainly has a reputation for warmth, and as Jaybo says, the brit speakers in general do to -- Spendor, ProAc, Harbeth, etc.

I agree with Ncarv, Sonus Faber are definately on the warm side. A little too on the warm side for my taste, but musical.

Dynaudio is worth auditioning if you must. Just a touch to the warm side of neutral in general.
