$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?

Hi,

I'm new here, glad I found this forum. I have a receiver from 2007, specifically the  Pioneer Elite VSX-94TXH.
I'd like to hook up a pair of stereo speakers to listen to music only, no movie watching. There are quite a few choices in my price range for full-range speakers (Lore, Uruz, Perfect SET, Enzo XL)  I've read through their descriptions and customer reviews on Tekton website, but have not heard any in person. I'm not an audiophile by any means, so exotic specs and ultra exotic amps, DACs, interconnects,... are not in my realm of knowledge. I'm just looking for a fairly good pair of speakers to listen to rock music and classical. My music collection is all on CDs. I do have an SVS subwoofer (cylinder shape, about 4feet tall) that I can pair with the speakers. What would you recommend as a starting point? Should I consider mid-range speakers? Thank you for any advice!

Couple of things first. What is the size of your room? Do you like or have room for floor standing speakers vs stand mount? 

Room treatment makes ok speakers sound good and good speakers BETTER.

The opposite is true of Great speakers, they only sound as good as the room they are in.. Bad room, BAD sound...

Just a few hundred bucks goes a long ways, if you're a DIY or get a good deal on used.. or don't buy super expensive stuff..

Someone else can chime in on speaker brand. Me I like small planar and ribbon designed speakers with FAST, light, round, voice coil speakers for bass.. pretty simple..

Enjoy..

Let them say something first, maybe something changed. :-) Good fortune or a new puppy or rabbit in their life. :-)

I think things start getting better at the Double Impact. I would save up the extra grand for those or find a used pair. I miss the things they did well which are many and would own them again. Not sure about classical but they are very good rock speakers.
