Suggestion for a good pair of speakers

$1,300.00 for a pair of DALI Zensor 7's (Amazon). These speakers can rock and are a steal at the asking price!

$2,500.00 for a used pair of GoldenEar Triton 2's ($3,000.00 new). These speakers are simply marvelous.

I auditioned both of them driven by a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum with KT120 output tubes and StraightWire Maestro cables.

I ended up buying the Triton 7's (great deal at $900.00 used) but they cannot rock as hard as the Zensor 7's nor the Triton 2's.

Still extremely satisfied with the purchase due to their level of resolution, soundstage, and imaging!

You might want to check out Ascend Acoustics. I just bought a pair of their CBM 170's, they are their budget bookshelf speakers. They are very detailed. They do not color the sound at all. I can only imagine what their higher end speakers sound like. Also I have heard a lot of good things about Tekton speakers. The Lori mini and Lori S. are under $1000.00. They are made to order, and are well suited for tube amps. as they are very easy to drive. Ascend and Tekton can only be purchased on line. Selli.
