BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE

I have owned Maggie 0.7s, Revel F30s in my primary system and KEF and Elacs in my secondary system. Currently running Devore 9s in my primary driven by a LM tube amp. The lesson I have learned is that efficiency is the key to the “at a reasonable price” part of the equation. Going efficient will give you a lot of flex w the amp that will save you $. 

Ie - the recs here for maggies or your consideration of Kef Q series are both off base given your amp in my limited experience. I have owned both and i didnt think either sounded satisfying unless paired w something orders of magnitude above what you are using for amplification. I have never owned tektons but suspect they may be something for you to seriously consider. Same with dirty weekends. Both are speakers i would argue cross over between life style and audiophile and are supposed to be forgivingly easy to drive. If on the other hand you buy something simply off the reviews and ignore db rating, you may end up trapped into having to upgrade you amp. Most hifi speakers are analogous to a magnifying lens. The more expensive, the greater the magnification. Receiver generally dont “look” good at high levels of magnification and dont have power to make low db rated speakers shine

RBH

Eminent Technology LFT-8b has low distortion and transparency rarely heard in your price range.  Downside is it completely trashes poor recordings.   

As you can see, asking that question here is like asking a herd of cats which way to go.
