Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss!


I have a Primaluna EVO 300  with KT120s running into Rega RS5 speakers.  When I use my tube Fosgate phono stage, the system is pretty awesome. ( Warm thick and alive). 

Without the phono stage, the sound is a little thinner, a little less bass, and a little less alive.  I've had my Rega speakers for almost 15 years and am ready to upgrade.  

I listen to rock: REM, Nora Jones, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, etc.  

I have an old  Cayin Spark HA-1A EL84 headphone amp I listen to with Grado PS500e headphones.  That's the sound I want.  Thick and real.  It draws me in.  

My budget is up to $5,000.  I'm good with used.  

I'm dealing with limited space or I probably would've already bought the Klipsch Forte IV speakers.  I need something no more than 12" wide.  I'd prefer small towers, like my current Regas.  

What speakers am I looking for?

randybrinkman what is your room size? The Charney Audio Maesteo will fit your budget and work very well with your gear.

Tannoy...if you bought it from Upscale, surprised he didn’t try and sell you a pair..

A good used pair of Goldenear towers would be my vote. I’m very happy with my PL EVO 300i and GE one’s.
