Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions.


Just picked up a Cary SLI80 HS and need some speakers.

The amp is 80 watts or 40 watts triode. Reviews say triode sounds best. Room is 12x26x7 dedicated listening room in the basement.

I have a couple subs, so if they don't have the deepest bass, I can live with that. 

Budget around 4k.

OP, the pair of Razz @mapman found for sale on The Music Room's site  look great !  Priced right I'd say, may even be able to bring them down a bit. 

Cary SLI80HS paired with Volti Razz at home for me. Awesome combination in my book. When I picked up my Razz from Greg at Volti he threw his Cary on my Razz as well as a pair of Rival and his new Vittora prototype. IT was a pretty fun experience. Plenty of power for all three pairings. (of course they are all high sensitivity). Open, sweet, musical and gobs of dynamics. IMO really hard to go wrong.

Also agree with @elliottbnewcombjr ultralinear is the way to go. I switched back and forth for the first couple of days. I just leave it now.

@traudio if you are within a day drive of him I’d highly recommend making a visit. He’s a really good guy, fun to hang around with and shoot the crap. Great Mexican joint literally across the street too. I met up with him couple of months ago at the Fla. expo as he rolled out his new model, the Lucera. Best room for me, listening to some good music on the new model powered by Boarder Patrol, a show highlight for sure.
