$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?

My speakers are 25 years old, working fine for now, but who knows I might have to replace them at some point in the future.

The amp would be VAC Avatar SE 60 watt/ch all tube with onboard phono stage. Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm turntable and couple of tape decks.

I am thinking Proac maybe or whatever.

Maggies are notorious for soaking up power - op's tube amp is doing 60 Watts / ch on a good day (fairly optimistic for a push-pull pair of EL34).

No panel speakers, please, not my kind of sound. Well, except maybe top SoundLabs.

No horns either, again, not for me.

The best speaker I know of near your price range would be the used set of Silverline Bolero speakers for sale in CA. They are fantastic sounding speakers that play full range and beautifully check off the sonic boxes important to you. I think the seller is asking $4400, but perhaps you can get closer.

They may not be close to you and perhaps just out of your price range? I do know they are immensely musical with fully fleshed out mids and excellent bass foundation. Easy to drive and very nice looking! Nice big stage with very good imaging and easy to listen to for many hours

Never heard Silverline speakers. Bolero could be appealing. Thank you for the suggestion.
