Speaker for my Ampzilla Amp and Pre-Amp

For that kind of music, I would check out the Tekton
Pendragon. I think the guy that makes them is a drummer, so
I'm sure they'll have a lot of impact, which I assume is what
you're looking for. If you can cough up a few more bucks, I
would look into a Wilson Sophia. You can pick up the older
models at good prices used and they're good at louder volumes.
There's a pair up now for $5200.

also i was looking at a pair of Tannoy 6.2 or 6.4's

how would the F52's do with out sub?

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.

Back in my Ampzilla days , ( I bought one new ) it sounded really nice with Maggies , but maybe not suited to your music tastes .......

I'm quite partial to Sonus Faber; Their staved designs work especially well with all kinds of music, and your electronics should really light them up.

I see there's a pair of Tyler Acoustics Linbrook's for sale.
I think ill make a offer tonight on them.
