Looking for warm sounding speakers

A little bit more in the budget and you might be able to nail a pair of Silverline Sonata IIIs... preowned. Floor standers your amp can drive well. they'll play any genre well and will reveal as much as your components will allow . Sweetest tweeter on the planet... as with Dyn Audio.. the Esotar... and Dyn Audio mid bass and bass drivers.

Easy to position... drive.. and they'll certainly play loud.. depending on your room size and amp, @ 93db, and appox 5-7 ohm imp. . Rock, Jazz, big bands, vocalists, folk RB or Contry... they're way good all arounder speakers. Not tremendously tall, or heavy. Very nice in piano gloss.

I routinely run mine with 120 - 150 wpc amps. bi wired. They’ll do HT very well too. Great Rock & Roll speakers, and just a lot of fun to listen to a lot.. Better bass than SF too… in fact with SS amps, the bass is or can be great depending on room size. Very nice.

harbeth, spendors.

IMO, the Sonus Faber Electa Amators would be a good choice. As
said above, they are warm sounding and can play loud. Highs are smooth, probably due to the Dynaudio Esotar tweeter. You
would not be disappointed, and they are in your price range-
$2K-3K including stands. No, I'm not selling my pair!

I think you will want to listen before you buy. The articulate bass of the ads coupled with the smooth treble is hard to find. If you can find a modern acoustic suspension type that has soft dome silk tweeter, that would be ideal.

Nak,

Vandys were the first that came to my mind. Re: Sonus Faber. They were mentioned several times and some posters specified earlier models. I agree that the older models (I own Minuettos from the early '90s) would be a good call. However, some of the more recent models (I also own Cremonas) have A LOT more energy in the presence region and are not nearly as warm sounding. Just a "heads up" should you consider this route.
