Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions


Apologize if this is redundant but the threads here all seem to recommend horn speakers for tube amps.

I have seen a couple of references to Fyne speakers here.  I have a pair of F702s, made in Scotland.  I am driving them with a McIntosh MC2120 (120 wpc, refurbed about 10:years ago) from a Rogue Audio RP-1 preamp.  Sources are Apple lossless and an NAD 658 CD player, both fed through Shiit Bifrost 2.  The room is about 13x22x8, with a 10 foot wide open area to the dining room to the left of the listening area.  I rarely have to turn the volume on the RP-1 beyond about half-way to achieve the volume level where the speakers really “open up” in terms of instrument placement and separation.  I am very, very pleased with the F702s, and I am considering a Rogue Audio Atlas Magnum III to either supplement (bi-amping) or to replace the MC2120.  The recent upgrades from an NAD. integrated amp and no separate DAC were an “ear opener” for me.
