Speaker for my Ampzilla Amp and Pre-Amp

I'm looking a newer speaker for my totally rebuilt Ampzilla (250 RMS). I'm currently using it on a pair of Carver Amazing or a pair of Linn Kellidhs> (I know thats night and day).

The music I listen the most of the time is 70's to 80's classic rock.

That I'm looking at are the Revel F52s or Sonus Faber.
the problem is there is no place in the forth largest city to hear any speakers.

Any other ideas? room is 12x16 and budget used is 2000-4000.

I'm assuming you're in the US, you mean Houston doesn't have any places to audition speakers? I'm surprised.

With that amp's power, I'm thinking you could drive a PBN/Montana in your price range, or a PSB Stratus Gold, both of which should sounds great with your music selection.

Just Best Buy! would you take the PSB Stratus Gold over the Revel F52's

I've never heard the Revels, so I can't comment on that. What I can say is that the Golds were the best rock music speaker I've heard yet (but ONLY with a high-powered amplifier).

Keep in mind, though, that with a lot of music from that genre you're limited a lot by dynamic range compression from the recording.

Another option is to talk with Ty at Tyler Acoustics. I have his D3M's and love them. He routinely has used speakers available at a discount. Something from the Decade line would suit you well.

I've never heard any bad comment about Tyler speakers, and my own experience as a happy owner validates that.
