Speaker Choice under $750 for blues...

Hello A'Goners. I currently own a pair of Quad 21L's mated with a Marantz PM 7001 integrated. My listening is primarily electric blues and some classic rock. While the Quads sound good with most every style, they don't truly excite me for blues. As a friend said-"they sand everything smooth". I guess for me they miss that nth degree of "bite" What would be some other options in the same price range? I have to admit they have a terrific look.

Try to find something with a bigger woofer , 10 - 12 inches , depending on the size of your room .
With only 70w you will also need a high impedance and db rating so as to be able to move the woofer . The higher impedance should also help with the attack or transients which may provide some of that bite .
I don't think that you would want to have a none smooth tweeter , especially with the quality of classic rock recordings .

Maybe some vintage JBL's or Klipsch .

Good luck .
