Downsized to apartment, need new speakers
Today 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.

Tektons sound incredible. I strongly suggest opting for a Beryllium tweeter and crossover upgrade.

In your situation I would consider one of the stand mounted monitors. I've had the Super AlNiCo monitors for several years now and love them to death.

There is something special about how their Alnico drivers sound. I’ve had my Super Alnico Monitors for 2 years now and they continue to impress. They have an excellent synergy with the Zen Amps.
