Warm but holographic & forward vocals.

@erik_squires I'll look into it.  

Another option, and again, it's not for me, is Dali.  See if that's the type of tonal balance you are looking for.  They elevate the mid-treble significantly which makes them better listeners at low volume.

IMO a drive to Sacramento to listen to the 2C and the Sub would be worthwhile. They want $1200, for that second hand set.

Current RRP for the 2Ce is $5650 for the speakers, and that sub was at least 2k back in the day.
And that was considered a good performance v cost value at those prices.

You could literally sell the Textons for $1600 and use the $400 fuel and a meal… and… still keep the 5k in the bank.

You might not like them, but Sacramento is as close as you can find for listen. They usually move quickly, and a listen only costs some fuel. At some point you probably want to listen anyhow.

They on opposite wall I have Maggie in gym where I pump iron get back lady love this.Listen to guys that say drive to hear.
