You have the right amps. The V-4's are outstanding. I had the 1.7's and didn't care for them. I haven't heard the Golden Ear, but peoples comments are always very positive regarding those. 2 speakers that I do know very well, Vandersteen Model 2's and ProAc Response 2.5's, both sound very good with the V-4's. There's plenty of good choices in your price range and your amps have enough power to drive most of them.
Golden Ear Triton 3 vs. Magnepan 1.7's
Both speakers are around $2000. These are the two that I am considering buying, but I haven't decided on which ones to get. My amps are Quicksilver V4 mono blocks that are rated at about 135 tube watts per channel. I'd be interested to hear what you have to say. Which ones would you get and why? Thank you
