speakers to audition with pass labs / PAD cabling


My system today is composed of pass labs xa30.5 amp and x1 pre amp and Tannot D700 speakers. All interconnect cabling is PAD Venustas (luminist rev). All power cabling is also PAD. Have LE to amp, and Canorus to pre. I'm thinking of trying some new speakers. I don't listen to music loud (mainly 8 - 10) on volume (out of 26). My music varies to everything but country ... sorry... lol
So i've noticed that my tannoy's seem harsh on top end, and would like a little more slam on low end.

Friend has Wilson Sophia's and loved them. Also liked magnepan, but not sure amp can power 3.7's.

price range target between 5-8k 2nd hand.

Anyways... thoughts.

We had a pair of Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1's with a 30.5 for a long time and enjoyed it without regret.

Not familiar with your cables, but I can tell you the combination is magic. The 30.5 performed way better than it ought to! Significantly better than our X-250.5.

We used MIT Oracle cabling and a Meridian front end.

Enjoy your music, TJF.
