Help this old rookie with speakers

Been reading a lot of the discussions and I am super impressed with the knowledge here.  

And a sage piece of wisdom that I got 40 years ago is "if you want to get your a$$ handed to you, try to be an expert in another man's field".

So...   I'm looking to put a new set of speakers in my living room.   I have an NAD 2400 amp. that I have owned for 30 years, and it has served me well powering my Boston Acoustics VR975 speakers

I've had an affinity for La Scala's for a long time, but I think they are a little big for this space.   So I was wondering if anyone had experience with the  Crites Speaker Type CS Style B.   They seem to be like  Cornwalls and a very good price.

Thanks!

Who would buy speakers because the resale value is high?  I would buy what sounds the best to you and keep it.

Everyone has a sound they are looking for based on their goals. From your selections it appears you like the horn sound.  I get it, my dad made his own Klisch horn speakers.  Go listen to them and maybe some other speakers such as B&W or other.

Good luck

I would look at Klipsch line of active speakers and it comes with NEW amps, NEW preamp, NEW DAC, inside the speaker. Just connect your source (s) and you are in business. Check out The Nines:

I have Crites Type B. 4 yrs old.  They are made with quality components.  Set up correctly, they will sound quite good.  I have subs and they sound better.  You can order them with ALK adjustable crossover now.  I have seen veneered versions that are beautiful.  These are the size of Klipsch Cornwall.  Half the price.

"Altec 19's or JBL 300's bought on the used market will kill any Klipsch speaker!"
