you may want to check out quad esl 2812 or 2912 or even esl64's. your amplifier is powerful enough to drive most speakers. if you want some high efficiency dynamics, tannoy or klipsch are very nice also.
Maggies to Tekton?
Hey Audiogon-ers. I've only posted a few times, as I mostly enjoy reading the threads and comments. I've been a 20+ year Maggie owner, and I currently have the 1.7s in my "new" (post divorce) house. I'm a big Maggie fan, but lately I've been craving something different...something with oomph and excitement - a dynamic speaker that will get my mojo going on jazz and modern rock. The Tekton line-up piques my interest, especially the affordable models - Mini Lore and Lore Ref. I mean, damn, for under a grand I can take the plunge. Plus, they have a 60 day return policy! My amp is the McIntosh MA 252, and I have a Sony HAP player for digital and Music Hall 'table for LPs. My questions: For the extra money, is the Tekton Lore Reference the way to go? Is there another affordable, high efficiency brand that I should consider? Is there anyone out there who has gone from Maggie to another (dynamic) brand and hasn't regretted the move? Thanks!
