Help this old rookie with speakers

Been reading a lot of the discussions and I am super impressed with the knowledge here.  

And a sage piece of wisdom that I got 40 years ago is "if you want to get your a$$ handed to you, try to be an expert in another man's field".

So...   I'm looking to put a new set of speakers in my living room.   I have an NAD 2400 amp. that I have owned for 30 years, and it has served me well powering my Boston Acoustics VR975 speakers

I've had an affinity for La Scala's for a long time, but I think they are a little big for this space.   So I was wondering if anyone had experience with the  Crites Speaker Type CS Style B.   They seem to be like  Cornwalls and a very good price.

Thanks!

I don’t know why you think La Scalas would be too big for a 20x30 room? That’s a large room and would accommodate a speaker even bigger than the La Scala.

With $3k I’d consider spending $2k on a pair of Altec Valencia and $1k on a nice set amp with 8-10 watts or so. This is assuming you’ve heard and like horn speakers of course.

Check out the Altec Valencia 846b. There’s almost always a pair or two on my local Craigslist so you’ll probably find the same. Some may need some TLC but they’re worth the investment - a timeless classic.
