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.

"Your Subs Manual does NOT specificity mention line in/filter remove low bass/line out without low bass to the preamp or integrated amp. AMP to speakers AFTER sub"

No they don't and I would never run my signal through a sub crossover. Anyway that's usually a feature on cheap mass market subs. If I did anything in that direction it would be a proper outboard crossover of good quality. 

Yes, I understand the concept of removing bass from the main speakers very well. 

"OP:  what are your current speakers, and how is your Cary integrated doing with them?"

I don't have the Cary yet, maybe Monday. Current speakers are Magnepan 3.7i with a Hegel H390 integrated. 

I'd like to try the other side of the audio coin, tubes and higher sensitivity speakers.

I'll try the Cary, but I'm afraid it won't be up to the task.

He's an 8hr drive from me. Maybe later this year when the wife is off for the summer.

I've got my eye on the volti razz. I was hoping to hear them at axpona next week, but Greg says he's not going to be there this year 😥

I'm not doing anything until after I attend AXPONA next week. 
I'm in Southwest Michigan.

I'd never heard of them, but I'm in luck as they will be at AXPONA. Thanks for the suggestion. 

Since these are an open baffle design like my Maggies, are they hard to position correctly?
