Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions.


Just picked up a Cary SLI80 HS and need some speakers.

The amp is 80 watts or 40 watts triode. Reviews say triode sounds best. Room is 12x26x7 dedicated listening room in the basement.

I have a couple subs, so if they don't have the deepest bass, I can live with that. 

Budget around 4k.

Fyne Audio would work for you. I’ve not owned them but have auditioned them and they have all the attributes you are looking for. They are very efficient as well at something like 92db @8ohms. $4k might be difficult to find, maybe used, but they are outstanding. They are on my shortlist of speakers if I ever upgrade from my current speakers.  I’d also recommend Fritz speakers, which I do currently own.  They are easy to drive and have what you are looking for as well and are well within your price range.

+1 Reference 3a MM DE CAPO BE II MONITOR.  Fritz speakers would also be worth checking into.
