speakers that would be a clear upgrade to Gallo CL-3


I have started the process of shopping for a speaker upgrade to my Gallo CL3’s which I really like, but as you all know there’s that itch...so my budget is max 5k but would really like to keep it to 3500 new or used. I just weaned off of tubes and sold my dac by going to the amazing Job INTegrated amp with built in dac. With a nice power cord on it, this thing is scary good for the price and I don’t miss tubes in the least, and I love minimalism.
System:
Gallo CL3
Job INTegrated
sotm sms200 streamer
(also have a TT and CDP that I barely use)

Speakers I have been thinking about:
Goldenear Triton 2+ and 1
Ryan 620 or 630
Used Vandersteen Treo

What do you guys think of my shortlist? Anything I should add? I was curious about Aurum Cantus especially at the price/performance ratio and in home trial, but I get nervous about resale. ANyone have experience with them?

I have no experience with Aurum Cantus Speakers but my Lawrence Audio double bass speakers utilize all of Aurum’s drivers in their unique marriage of different driver types that’s simply outstanding.

I’m amusing you are looking for a “Musical” speaker and taking your choices in picks and budget,I would think the Treo would be the speaker for you.

The Job should be plenty enough pwr to wake this speaker up,along as you don’t like concert levels in a big room.

Good luck to you on your hunt,
Kenny.
