Need speaker advice


Hej


I'm looking for a new pair of speakers. The reason for this is that I find my Tannoy Legacy Eaton a little too difficult to drive for my 2x12w Audion Audio Sterling. I also feel that the Tannoys are a little too relaxed and a little rolled off.

One problem with brands like Tekton and nsmt is that I live in Sweden and I do not have the opportunity to listen to them (which I assume is the same problem in the US) and to send them back if I don't like them is not financially defensible. To take a chance on one of these brands I really have to be sure that they are what I’m looking for. I don’t think this will happend.

I heard Klipsch Heresey III which I didn't like. To my taste, they were too much on my face and too harsh. Could have been the room and/or the amplifier and/or ...?

I listen to all kinds of music, from progressive rock to classical music.
My listening position is 6.6 feet from the speakers.
My budget is aprox $ 7,200.

Any suggestions?

You are in somewhat of a difficult position, as listening to rock with a 12 wpc amp requires very efficient speakers, combined with the fact that you are listening very close to the speakers, so the room with soften nothing. Plus, all the brands like Devore and Tekton are cost-prohibitive to ship.  Honestly, with what you said, I would consider another amplifier with more power.  The Tannoys are good speakers and an amp with a bit more bite might be just what you're looking for.

Not the answer I hoped for :(

I usually listen to low volumes and if I want to play louder I have a Moonriver 404 that really takes a grip on the Tannoys.
But I have just become a sucker for SET tubes amps and have just bought the Audion Audio Sterling, so your suggestion is no solution. Thanks anyway.

What brands of high-sensitivity speaker are available in Sweden that fall into your budget?  Have you called a few audio stores?
