Speaker Recommendation


Hi guys, I'm looking for some stereo floor-standing speakers that pairs well with a 40 watt per channel (into 8Ω) otl amp. My plan is for them to be mixed use between music and movies. My budget is around 1000-1500 dollars; I don't mind if the speakers are new or used. I'll be sitting around 10 feet away from the speakers. I'm using an avr as a preamp so I may decide to add a powered subwoofer as well. What do you guys recommend?

I used a 35wpc amp with my Silverlines with good results. However my speakers are 93.5db efficient. I WOULD NOT go lower than that. No way, no how.
SAY NO to the Tannoys. That is sales speak. They are still 90db which will not be enough IME You NEED at least 94db IMO, Unless you never plan on cranking the volume
This is worth considering. In stock. On sale, free shipping, 60 days to try. $75 to return.
Compared to other suggestions, this is very low risk to try.

Other deals take longer or cost more to try. (Tektons currently taking 12 weeks to build and ship. Purchaser pays full return shipping costs.) You could simply try something from Crutchfield first.
my advice, avoid speaker brands beginning with T.

Alright, what do you guys think about the Tannoy?

Uh....
I interpreted that as veiled advise to avoid tekton. I'm not sure why I'd need to avoid every single manufacturer that begins with the letter T.
