Title: Downsized to apartment, need new speakers
Post by beaufleuve on 06/30/26 at 00:30:21

I have a SE84UFO2.1, a vintage declare preamp, a merason mkII dac, a lumin streamer and rel s812 subs. I had paired the system with la scala speakers - and loved the sound.

Just moved into an apartment building where the la scalas won't fit and where I'm going to have to play at medium volume at best. Looking for suggestions for new speakers, under $6k used and not massively big.

I'm not super-technical and not an expert by any means, but what I liked with the la scales was the transparency, the warmth and that "romantic" tube sound.

Thanks.

I recommend Tekton speakers, either the 2-12 Perfect SET or the new Wattmeister Model 2, both designed specifically for flea-watt amps. Tektons sound incredible. I strongly suggest opting for a Beryllium tweeter and crossover upgrade.
