Help this old rookie with speakers

Been reading a lot of the discussions and I am super impressed with the knowledge here.  

And a sage piece of wisdom that I got 40 years ago is "if you want to get your a$$ handed to you, try to be an expert in another man's field".

So...   I'm looking to put a new set of speakers in my living room.   I have an NAD 2400 amp. that I have owned for 30 years, and it has served me well powering my Boston Acoustics VR975 speakers

I've had an affinity for La Scala's for a long time, but I think they are a little big for this space.   So I was wondering if anyone had experience with the  Crites Speaker Type CS Style B.   They seem to be like  Cornwalls and a very good price.

Thanks!

Altec 19's or JBL 300's bought on the used market will kill any Klipsch speaker!

A very good friend of mine owns a sweet pair of Altec 19s and a pair of 1985 LaScalas that I sold him 20 years ago. They are still very much alive and in use. Crazy they have not been "killed".

Buy Klipsch or JBL if you can. The resale value is so high. You can buy a used pair of speakers, use them for 10 years and turn a tiny profit by re-selling them. The brand image is insanely high. Can you get better performance for a fraction of the price? 100%. But you'll lose money on the resale.

Used Forte IIIs or Chorus IIs will give you LaScala sound stage w/out space constraints. Then a small tube amp and you’ll enjoy the music!
