The sky is the limit and there are so many used speakers to choose from it would be hard to listen to them all. I like Vandersteen and Ohm. For rock and your tube amp, the Tektons would certainly match well. A used or new Salk would be on my list too. Magnepan may be too hard on your tube amp, I know they were on mine. Perhaps look at Emminent Technology?
$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.

@2psyop Salk has been out of business since 9/15/23. Eminent Technology manufactures only 2 loudspeakers LFT-16A and LFT-8B, and both are very inefficient not an ideal match for a 60 watt tube amp. A used JBL 4349 would be a much better speaker over any Tekton model for those about to rock! |
avanti19601,511 posts Spendor A5 or D7 They do so many things right if you lean on a kaleidescopic sound stage, quick burst microdynamics and transients along with refinement and clarity. Careful setup required but the user is rewarded. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2777607I agree with this assessment. You said you’re looking for a description of the sound of recommended speakers. If this is the sound you’re looking for then these fit the bill. |
