My main speakers are a pair of full-size Sonus Fabers I've had for over 10 years and love to death. I have no plans to change them. As the brand is known for, sound leans to relaxed and warm (but not dull or muddy) - I like this.
I also have a pair of the small Madisound 4" Fostex full-range driver speakers I built over the summer. They are really cool, and in the right situation a blast. However, the lack of bass (I knew it going in) is the downside and not looking to play with subs/make them work. I will try them with the UFO2 before passing judgement.
The Zu Dirty Weekend speakers look interesting because for $1300/pair (that is with shipping, upgraded wood, and the first cap upgrade), seems like a lot for the money AND something totally different (full-range driver with an interesting story...crossover is limited to a cap on the tweeter, the 10" driver runs untouched). While I would try it with my bigger amps, I have a UFO2 on the way and am building the ACA and those could be a ton of fun on those.
The Lore Reference or similar from Tekton is also interesting.
If you can tell, I am not looking for something conventional. Looking for something highly-sensitive and interesting.
I need a more traditional tower speaker (nothing that sits on the floor like the little Caintucks) based on how the room is setup.
Curious what else I should look at, what would be a good fit with the UFO2, ACA, or anything else.
