Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k


I am looking for advice for speakers.  This is a second system in my living room with a MA252 integrated, VPI turntable and Blue Sound.  Looking for a floor standing speaker.  I have listen to Sonus Faber and I like them.  Advice?

You may be able to land a pair of Maggie 3.7i used or the 1.7i with a good sub would also be worth auditioning.

Good luck happy listening.

ATC are the most accurate speakers, imo. See if you can stretch to the SCM19s ($4700) otherwise the SCM12s

Later add a Dynaudio 18s sub  (~1800)

ATC are a dominating presence in pro recording studios

Your B&W are a perfect match for the McIntosh amplification.  However they can be a little stogy in the midrange.  

Another excellent match with Mac amplifiers are the Klipsch Heritage.  

The Forte IV sound excellent paired with your amplifier.  The Forte IV has a lively deep and rich sound and is the more refined than the Heresy.  

Be prepared for a more exciting sound and much more life like midrange,  

Should be able to find new under your budget.
