Perfect speakers for audio Research Classic 30


Hello!
I really hope that you all would be fine in this tragic situation, at least in Italy.
I fortunately live in Venice which hasn't been hit so much by coronavirus.
Anyway I've relatives and friends in a lot of northenr Italy cities and every day it is a war bulletin.
So I'm a bit upset to talk so lightly about our futile passion...
Anyway...
I've recently bought a really perfect Classic 30 power amp, ad it's lovely but I think that it is a bit tense in properly driving my Proac D30R, I can perceive its very good qualities but finally it lacks in bass control and in definition.
It's very strange to say (?) but it works a lot better and apparently more easilly with no preamp, I mean with my PS Audio Direct Stream dac directly connected.
What are your suggestions for the ideal partners for the Classic 30?
I've no prejudice towards bookshelf, monitors, floorstanding and so on but I suspect that an easy load, good sensibility, mid sized bookshelf speakers could make perfectly the job.
Please consider that I live in Italy so please don't suggest exotic, local, not exported speakers, thank you very much.
Looking forward for your suggestions...

OP, too bad Emerald Physics speakers are not readily available to you, but maybe Reference 3A MM De Capos
Have you tried pulling your speakers well out from the front wall (behind the speakers) and sidewalls?  Also look into Machina Dynamic isolation springs. These are magical, especially for tube gear. They are very light so, shipping shouldn't be a big deal. I have them under EVERYTHING

MillerCarbon: +1: Shocked to know that there are MAGAs in the great NW

And yes, those who hate DJT judge him ONLY by what their liberal media and FAR left party spew, instead of actually looking at his record (which BTW includes major efforts to bring down child trafficking, pedophilia, sex for movie roles, MS 13... and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!)


Just look at how Pelosi and Schummer have interjected garbage into YOUR stimulus package (why aren’t ALL liberals rioting in front of their offices and homes???). I HOPE this is the straw that finally breaks the Ostrich’s back (democratic voting block) as to how conned you’ve been.


Im not saying DJT is squeaky clean, but compared to the Dems he’s a freakin saint.


Also, don’t confuse me with being a Rtard either. I’ve been an Independent since John Andersen ran LONG before most of you were born: 1980

THESE 2 parties (at the top, which is above the president) are essentially 2 sides of the same dirty coin and have been almost since the start. See Romney, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, the Bushes...


Why was Abe Lincoln and JFK killed? Both wanted to return us to a gold back dollar instead the worthless fiat money the banksters created which is the Babylonian Debt system we have today. That should tell you something about whose been in charge and who we should be fighting instead of political crap. And guess who pays the governance off?


Eisenhower said in his parting speech "Beware of the military industrial complex!"


Brief history lesson over

Peace Out!

It finally dawned on me, Anthony Gallo CL2s. Great bookshelf speakers with an amazing tweeter very amp friendly. Could be magical. I bought them from this closeout advertisement. I barely listened to mine as I came across a pair of SV123 Swan Diva IIs locally which better suited my TV system. But no plans to sell the Classic IIs
