What speakers match my system? $3,000 Budget

Stanley
I have listed some other speakers that would probably be worth your time reviewing their web site(s) and going from there.

Sonest Concerto 3 (or other in there line) (Stereophile Review)

Atlantic Technology AT-1 (Stereophile Review)

Triangle Esprit 30th Anniversary Edition Antal (Hi-Fi World review)

Reference 3A, Episode or MM DeCapo (or others in there line) I have seen the Grand Veena sell for around $4,000.00. It’s a whole lot of speaker but with a sensitivity of around 91db

Nola Contender and Boxer

Also Merlin makes a two way stand mounted speaker that is highly regarded (Cant think of the Modle designator

Al of these are in your price range.

Evolution Acoustics MM Micro One

Assuming your room is not too large for them, I would recommend an audition of Ohm Walsh 2000s ($2800 + shipping). I own this speaker, and I think it will deliver on what you're looking for. They come with a 120-day in-home trial period. If they're not for you, you will lose only the round-trip shipping.

Sorry its soundstagehifi.com . He also compares the kef r500 to the psb t2 which he strongly favors the r500 and compares to his revel salon 2 speakers at $21k these are no joke. I hope you can listen to a pair before you buy. Best
