Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options?


Short List of full-range considerations for 2-ch music...

Tekton Double-Impact (which I’ve owned) $3,000(new):
  • 98.82dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 4 Ohm
  • ±3dB 20Hz-30kHz
  • ±1dB 70Hz-20kHz
  • Sold because they couldn’t produce LXmini ’magic’ imaging.
Considering the smaller-form-factor Tekton Electron/SE $3,000(new):
  • 98.82dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 4 Ohm
  • ±3dB 20Hz-30kHz
  • ±1dB Anyone know?
  • Narrower baffle might image better than DI’s?
Another consideration is GoldenEar Triton 2+, $4k(new):
  • 91dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 8 Ohm, built-in 1200w amp for subs
  • ±3dB 16Hz-35kHz
  • ±1dB Anyone know?
Or GoldenEar Triton 3+, (currently in my HT-system), $2.8k(new):
  • 90dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 8 Ohm, built-in 800w amp for subs
  • ±3dB 21Hz-35kHz
  • ±1dB Anyone know?
  • Could move these to 2-ch system.
Thinking to simplifying my system, which is currently ’littered’ with stuff required by LXmini and their subs. Outside of the above ’box’ speakers, good candidates for creating LXmini-level imaging is:

Spatial M3 Saphire, $5k(new):
  • 92dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 4 Ohm
  • ±3dB 32Hz-40kHz (not quite full-range)
  • ±1dB Anyone know?
Any other ideas out there for full-range with linear response?

Be hard pressed to find a better speaker in the $5k range.

also 45 day risk free?

Read the reviews, order a set demo them don’t like them send them back.

You won’t. I replaced Sonus Fabre O3 with the CeLest...yes they are that good.

Hear the music not your gear!




The CeLests are now on sale for $3995 as of 1.23.21.

Also, you really can't go wrong with the Spatials. They're pretty amazing in every category.

Can you confirm these are rear ported? I'm assuming they are but they only say they're ported and I can't tell where the port is. 
The LSA-20 Statements are still on sale here by manufacturer for $3299/pr and have a 30-day trial period.  Ravens also look very interesting.
