Best Speakers for Forte 4a amp and F44 pre

I want to start looking at upgrading my speakers for this combo. Currently I have a pair of Sound Dynamics 300ti. Two channel setup, small listening room 12x14. I have to project a soundstage from the 12 ft wall. I can't give up more than 2 feet behind the speakers or 1.5 feet from a side wall. I am not dissatified with the SDs but I wonder what magic might lie ahead on the upgrade trail and at what cost. I think I will max my budget out about $2K-new or used. Cables are Tara RSC.

I currently use Alon Model One speakers with my current Forte set up which includes the F 44 preamp and Model 7 Forte mono blocks. The Alons have been a dream match and
should fit into your system and space requirements quite nicely. You can usually get a good pair of Alon Ones for around the $600.00 mark depending on condition. I do recommend you use the Alon Black Orpheus speaker cables for best results. Depending on length the Black Orpheus cables will set you back anywhere from $325 to $425. Worth every penny though.

The Alons are truly special by any standard. To do better sonically than the Alons you will pay dearly. The Alons love Class A power that the Forte 4a has.
