Needing to replace thirty year old speakers.


I have a thirty year old pair of Canton ergo 80 speakers. I 

never felt they were that good. My current system includes

a Chronus magnum dark integrated amplifier, a Cambridge 

audio can v2 streamer and two Svs 2000 pro subs. The

Chronic dark replaced an Adcom 555-2 amplifier and an

Adcom 565 preamplifier. I always thought the Adcom 

equipment sounded harsh in the upper midrange. The

Chronic solved that problem. It is better than the Adcom

equipment in every way. I like speakers that are slightly 

warm sounding but still give detail. My budget is around 

$5,000, maybe a little more. What speakers would sound

good with my setup? If a recommended speaker allowed 

Me to delete the subs, my wife would be happy 😊

IF you go to TMR in Erie, near Denver, there seem to be quite a few dealers in the area

Near Denver, any good dealers there?

Listen Up has several stores in Colorado

I sorted, price, high to low

perhaps we all need to relocate to Colorado

 

Responding to six. I've been reading great things about ProAc d20r. I can't find any brick and mortar or online stores for them. Any ideas?

Crescendo Fine Audio apparently carries ProAc and has stores in the Denver/Boulder area that may be well worth the trip.  They also seem to carry Revival Audio speakers (among others) that’d be worth auditioning too if you can get there.  Hope this helps.

Is Fyne a Tannoy knock off? A cheap Tannoy? Or Tannoy is an expensive Fyne

I am old enough to remember my dad's Tannoy dual-concentric driver!  Don't know about its imaging, the strong point of concentric designs, because he only had one.

Fyne is the logical successor to Tannoy for hifi speakers, because Tannoy shut their factory and several Tannoy staff founded Fyne.  I cannot put it better than AI:

Fyne Audio is a British loudspeaker company founded in 2017 by a group of former employees from Tannoy after the company's Coatbridge factory closed. Fyne Audio is seen by many as a spiritual successor to Tannoy, with Dr. Paul Mills, a key figure from the former company, leading the new venture. Fyne Audio focuses on precision engineering and high-quality audio reproduction, often incorporating proprietary technologies like the IsoFlare driver, which is similar to the dual-concentric designs Tannoy was known for.
