Focal Electra 1008 BE can be had at your price point. I have Heresy I speakers and these are in a completely different league. I haven't heard the newest Heresy III and know that most find them better than the Heresy I, but I would be surprised if they would best the Focals. If you have a smallish room and are open to a sub, the Harbeth P3ESR is pretty amazing. I've used them all with my ARC VSI55 tubed integrated. No experience with your kit speakers, so I have no idea how much of an upgrade, if any, either of these would be.
< $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp?
I’ve thought many times to disassemble my system as I move into retirement. I really do enjoy it so I’ll keep it for the time being.
I keep wondering what $3000/pr speakers would bring to the table, if any improvement? What are some better speaker recommendations < $3000 to compliment my tube amp?
My System:
_Mystere IA11 (40 wpc EL34) tube integrated amp from PrimaLuna
_Thorens TD203 turntable w/ their uni-pivot tonearm/ Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge/ Schiit Mani phono preamp
_Yamaha BDP/ Schiit Modi3 DAC
_DIY Seas Froy3 speaker kit from Madisound in 2003
Musical tastes vary from classical to classic rock, blues, jazz, and world.
Thank you,
Mike
