Shopping for new speakers


I have a classe fifteen amp and a coda amp 10. I also have the Parasound 2000 line stage preamp and the Parasound 2000 top load cd player and matching DAC.  I have been looking at sonus faber venere 2.5 Is this a good match, or is there better out there for about 3000 range?

You are in a similar position as I am.

I built my current speakers, single driver Mark Audio A12P cabinets. They are a bit shout-y and I have out-grown them. It was time to step into the big leagues.

I am auditioning the Vandersteen 1Ci and Spatial M4 Turbo S. Roughly the same price (the Vandersteens are 400 cheaper new - with stands). I'll let you know how it turns out - will be posting on my original thread.

The open baffle approach is logical and minimal. My approach to audio is analog, minimal, and as pure as possible.

In my listening room I run only Vinyl with (currently) a SET Phono Pre and SET Amp (with gain control) and no pre-amp. Transparency is incredible.

What type of room is this going in? What are the dimensions?
