speakers under 1,500 excellent top to bottom sound

I am looking to upgrade from Alon II speakers to improve soundstage, bass, and overall sound. I use a Mccormack DNA-1 ss amp with tube pre-amp. I don't want boomy bass, but to be able to fell it at mpderate volume. My room size is 14 x 19.

I 've read soom good things about Von schweikert and Thiel. I don't have the space to keep the speakers 4' away from the wall.

Move up the Alon line ... even the V's can be found in your price range. VERY little in the $1500 will have the bass of the Alon V plus if you are accustomed to the dipole mids and highs of the Alon's, direct radiating speakers may sound "wrong" to you

Try some usher 6311, 6371 and 6381 speakers they are excellent performers and a bargain for what is there.

Agree with Jrinkerptdnet, the Alon Vs are a steal used going for under $1K. Send the woofers to Miller Sound in PA and he will make them even better.

Happy Listening.

But a pair of very slightly used Magnepan 1.7's and keep them 30 inches from the wall.
