Best speakers for about $2000 a pair
Heard a pair of VMPS 626's. About $1200. Tremendous imaging. Easy to drive and would be terrific with a decent tubed amp.http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0808/vmps_626jr.htm

Amp to power Triangle Luna speaker
The Primalunas would sound terrific as would Rogue or Cary's.

Amp to power Triangle Luna speaker
I have a similar Triangle and use a Unico Secondo which can be had for perhaps just under $2K. Tubed preamp section and a 140 watt solid state amp section -- lovely sound.
