  3. 193370-371

$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.

Yes, ATC SCM 40.  Owned the active version for some years and only replaced with larger ATC 50 active.  Wonderful transducer with no bad habits.  Ah, the ATC midrange.  Magical.  Best of luck.

ATC would probably need more power than 60 tube watts to drive them easily.

Buying a speaker without auditioning is tough, trying to figure out how it “sounds” by the “words” of others.

Maybe look at what speakers others are using with the OP’s amp.  Otherwise it’s compile a list of speakers compatible with the amps power then choosing

Good luck, hoping you’ll land on something good

Thank you.

ProAc 3.8 is within this price range. Would they match well with my amp ? I have no idea.

+1 on the Spatial Audio Lab X3s open baffle used. Great speaker that works well in many different set ups. Easy to drive.
