Best speakers for GaN1? Or should I change amps???


It’s been some time since I bought the Peachtree GaN1 + Bluesound Node combo.    Unfortunately, I’ve hardly used it, as I’ve been working away from home.   I have it paired with a little pair of Ruark Epilogue speakers + JL Audio Sub.    Sound isn’t great.

I’m looking for suggestions for the best speakers for the GaN1?
 

Or should I just move it on & start again?
 

 

Thanks

Sorry, I should have said, I like a big bold, warm, rich sound.   Clarity, but not clinical.    I really struggle with a lot of HiFi, which to my ear is very forward & clinical.

Budget flexible for the right solution, but preferably under £10k.

Always happy to go used.

 

Harbeth SHL-5. Big sound. Amp friendly and definitely not forward. Stands are important, so not a place to economize. 

Thanks chayro

During years of furious box swapping (which I want to be done with now), I’ve been down the Harbeth path with P3ESR & 40.1, the latter being one of few things I regret selling.   I went to audition some SHL5 a few years back & felt they were a bit dry & nothing like the 40.1s I’d sold.    
 

I’d say my biggest regret was selling ATC SCM100A, which I was using with a DAC direct.   I suspect if I’d had a Pre Amp adding some meat, they would still be here.

I’ve never owned Sonus Faber, yet the few times I’ve heard them, I liked them, so that’s maybe something I need to look into.

Sorry for the rambling indecision I think I know the GaN1 has to go, unless there’s a speaker that will give me what I want with that amp?   That’s the question.

 

I had Harbeth SHL5's for several years until I tried something else and realized how inappropriate those Harbeths were for me in my system, as I listen almost exclusively to rock and reggae.
