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!

My first "hi-end" system was horn based, not all that different from the Crites.  What a mistake.  Terrible on voices.  

 

What's an insane value right now is a pair of SEAS Thor speakers well-built from a Madisound kit that's for sale now on US Audiomart.  The drivers in this kit sell for about $2100 and the seller is asking only $750 for the pair.  He's of an advanced age and is moving to an assisted living facility and needs to unload them.

This design is *very* similar to the Joseph Audio Perspective 2 which retails for about $13,000.  If you're in the Southwest, it would be well worth it for you to make the trip.
