Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options?

Short List of full-range considerations for 2-ch music...

Tekton Double-Impact (which I’ve owned) $3,000(new):
  • 98.82dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 4 Ohm
  • ±3dB 20Hz-30kHz
  • ±1dB 70Hz-20kHz
  • Sold because they couldn’t produce LXmini ’magic’ imaging.
Considering the smaller-form-factor Tekton Electron/SE $3,000(new):
  • 98.82dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 4 Ohm
  • ±3dB 20Hz-30kHz
  • ±1dB Anyone know?
  • Narrower baffle might image better than DI’s?
Another consideration is GoldenEar Triton 2+, $4k(new):
  • 91dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 8 Ohm, built-in 1200w amp for subs
  • ±3dB 16Hz-35kHz
  • ±1dB Anyone know?
Or GoldenEar Triton 3+, (currently in my HT-system), $2.8k(new):
  • 90dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 8 Ohm, built-in 800w amp for subs
  • ±3dB 21Hz-35kHz
  • ±1dB Anyone know?
  • Could move these to 2-ch system.
Thinking to simplifying my system, which is currently ’littered’ with stuff required by LXmini and their subs. Outside of the above ’box’ speakers, good candidates for creating LXmini-level imaging is:

Spatial M3 Saphire, $5k(new):
  • 92dB 2.83V@1m sensitivity, 4 Ohm
  • ±3dB 32Hz-40kHz (not quite full-range)
  • ±1dB Anyone know?
Any other ideas out there for full-range with linear response?

op

you have a good list of speakers to consider - there are many others worth considering too

we don’t know what your room is like... what constraints on set up? what musical tastes?  what associated gear?

also, there are many truly excellent speakers that produce wonderful music but not the lowest octave... as soix said subwoofers added to those transform the sound to be absolutely top notch

how do we tell you what you will like?
