SPEAKER SUGGESTIONS

In my bedroom I am running a YAQIN 110B tube integrated amp with built in headphone amp. I am using upgraded Gold Lion kt88 tubes. Output is APX 50 watts per channel. The source is a Marantz SA8004 super audio cd player.
I just love the sound of this system using my Sennheiser HD650 headphones.
The sound coming from my speakers is not as good.
The speakers I am using are Pioneer SPB-S22 speakers.
I would like to get a pair of speakers with the same type of sound signature as the Sennheiser headphones I am using. What is your suggestion for new speakers? Will spend up to $1000.

Thanks
Dan

I'm very familiar with the Sennheiser sound over the years. Have heard the 650s. I currently have a half dozen or so phones (2 Sennheiser) and same # of speakers.

OHM Walsh speaker sound and Sennheiser phones have similarities in regards to coherency, tonality and not overly bright, ie non-fatiguing. OHM Micro Walsh used would come in under $1000. Totem Arro is another speaker I have heard that comes to mind.

One of these days, maybe not too far off I will acquire a retro looking tube integrated similar to Yaqin for my Triangle Titus XS just to try something different and to help loosen these little guys up a bit running in my wife's 12X12 cathedral ceiling sunroom. I think a small but decent quality tube amp will be just what the doctor ordered for those.
