Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ?

Guys,

I have had my Acoustic Zen Crescendos for 5 years and love them but with the type of music I typically listen to, Cello, Acoustic Guitar and Violins, wondering if this make sense for a tube based system. Tonian Labs are more efficient and from what I have heard/read are they are much more transparent but hopefully that doesn't mean forward or bright.

Let me know what you think and my components are updated under my virtual system.

Thanks,
Wig

Guys,

Thanks for your advice and suggestions, much appreciated!

@ steakster

I have had VAC, Vitus, LM and Herron M1 Mono Amp and all were fantastic but Don Sach’s KT88 Amp is even more refined and sounds very lively and like actual instruments and produces bass much better than the 400+ Watts Vitus I had, which I could not believe...

Did you guys hear the model with the 12" or 9" drivers? Could possibly save money going with the 9" but curious on the frequency response between the two and a 9" version on this site recently closed with a buyer.

Thanks,

Thanks again and those Hornings are also quite nice.

Those Horning looks awesome with very good specs and praise, definitely on my shortlist... Now the tough part in selling large speakers in the upcoming months possibly.

My upgrade bug may end after receiving my new reference DAC, CD Transport and a loom of Verastarr Statement and Illusion SC, IC and PC. 

These AZ Crescendo's are truly magicians and quite happy with their performance but we shall see :)
