Tannoy or Volti

@charles007100     Lots of good advice here.  As I mentioned to you yesterday, I would give Greg Roberts a call.  In fact, if you are spending $16K I'd go to Baxter and spend a day with Greg at his shop.  He and his wife hosted me twice; let me sleep over on a bed in his shop.  We auditioned all of his speakers and I brought my Klipsch Belles with me and we compared them to Razz, Luceras and Rivals.   I then picked the veneer I wanted from his large inventory and 6 weeks later I had a beautiful pair of Rivals made just for me.

I have driven them with my solid state amps (XA25 and SIT 3) and tube amps; Cary CAD300SEI (WE 300B), Quicksilver MidMonos (EL34) and Tool Shed Transcendence (WE 300B).  All sounded great but my favorite set-up is the QS mono blocks fed by a PrimaLuna Dialogue Pre. EL34s just sound sublime with the Rivals.  I'm awaiting delivery of a Tool Shed preamp so I'm hoping the Toolshed combo will outshine everything.

I have a 2x12" 1,000 watt subwoofer that has been collecting dust since the Rivals arrived.  My Klipsch Belles needed subwoofer support but the Rivals low end is super defined and deep.

Good luck and happy listening!

Btw, the Rivals have a wooden midrange horn designed and fabricated by Greg.  It's sweet!

@charles007100  That's a bridge I had to cross too although I came in with the Rivals in mind.  40 years ago I ordered the Klipsch Belles which were slotted between the Khorns and the Lascalas.  They were less expensive than the Khorns but had similar drivers so it was the logical decision at the time.  While I loved the Belles I always second guessed myself for not spending the extra cash to go with the Khorns.  I didn't want to make the same mistake again. 

The Lucera's are super nice (his newest design) and just a cut below the performance of the Rivals, but may be a better fit for your room.  Look at it this way, you can always trade up if your curiosity gets the better of you.  Sounds like that is what the person did with the used pair.  If you like the Tineo veneer, go for it.

Here are my speakers in Greg's room prior to me picking them up.

I wanted the Type 1 design where the veneer is on the front with no grill cover.  These are in a funky Red Gum that I hand selected.

Call Greg and go listen to them.

Cheers!
