Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ?

Guys,

I have had my Acoustic Zen Crescendos for 5 years and love them but with the type of music I typically listen to, Cello, Acoustic Guitar and Violins, wondering if this make sense for a tube based system. Tonian Labs are more efficient and from what I have heard/read are they are much more transparent but hopefully that doesn't mean forward or bright.

Let me know what you think and my components are updated under my virtual system.

Thanks,
Wig

I mean absolutely no disrespect to Acoustic Zen, but imo Tony Minasian is a wizard. I honestly do not know how he gets the results he does. Every speaker of his that I have heard sounded rich and warm and lively and totally non-fatiguing, and it doesn’t matter whether his design choices "made sense to me" or not. Imo he is a quiet genius. I can’t make a comparison for you because I have no experience with the Crescendos.
