I've heard both Harbeth P3ESR and Focal 1008BE sound stunning on the Cronus Magnum. I've heard the Ryan many times with other amps and it's always super smooth. However, if you like resolution and transparency with amazing timbre without sacrificing the toneality my vote would be the Focal. Cabling was Analysis Plus Oval 9.
Advice on speaker pairing with my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum using KT120 output tubes.
I am interest in spending between $3-$3.5K. I listen to rock and jazz via vinyl (Music Hall mmf5.1 with a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+) or digital streaming music library or Tidal via a W4S moded Sonos Connect thru a Schiit Audio Gungnir DAC. My room is 17' x 24', but I listen close up - 10' from the speakers. I have been considering Golden Ear Triton 2+ speakers.
