Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan....


I have been using Magnepan for years in my basement and I am moving to a new space where I need to set up a new listening room in my living room. I am looking for Bookshelves or small tower speakers' recommendations because I won't be able to use my beloved 1.7i Maggies anymore in my new space. I loved the huge wall of sound and the amazing transparency my 1.7i produce. Which speakers can get me close to what Magnepan can do?  I listen to a lot of Jazz vinyl and my system consists of: Atoll IN200SE integrated amp, Tube Phono preamp: Rega Planar 3 with Nagaoka cartridge, denafrips dac with all acoustic zen interconnect + Clear Day DSG speaker cables. Thank again for all your recommendations in advance.

Hi Analoguefan,
Take a look at Tetraspeakers.com. First photo you see is Keith Richards saying “These are not just ANY pair of speakers!”. And then an amazing group of some of the world’s greatest musicians saying even more superlatives. Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, et al.
After almost 50 years of constantly upgrading my system and speakers especially, I am off the merry-go-round for good.
I currently have two systems with two pair of Tetra speakers-the $1500 entry level 120Us and the $16k Phoenix TZs. Of course, the Phoenix have a more complete and fuller sound but they both have the Tetra house sound. They sound right. They grab you with truth unlike any other speaker I have ever heard. Tetra sells direct and can fix you up with one of their bookshelves. I was absolutely convinced by the comments on their website and am, obviously, thrilled and no longer tempted by any other speaker. Other than a Tetra, I lived with Quad 57s for 10 Years. I still miss the Quads but will never listen to anything but a Tetra.
