I had the Goldenear Triton 1.r-very close to the T-Ref. I then replaced them with Legacy Audio Focus XD's and that was a HUGE improvement. There may be a Legacy Speaker that would be worth your consideration. (Focus XD + Wavelet crossover?) Most people are very happy with them. They are not a bright as Focal, as dry as Magico, etc. They are usually under the radar but or under appreciated and a huge value.
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
Hello All: Many of us have limited access/ability to audition multiple speakers brands. That got me to thinking- If one had a budget of $20K max, a solid state amp rated at 125WPC, and listened to all varieties of music (primarily rock, pop, folk), what speaker(s) would you be most willing to recommend to that person and feel confident they would be happy with the purchase?

+1 @mapman When I first saw the title of this thread Fritz came to mind. Then I saw the budget, which is closer to my total system cost including Fritz speakers. |
gnoworyta - How do you like your Van Alstine 225 monoblocks? I have been interested in them (and the Schiit monos). Thanks |
happy new year bud! you raise a good point as the op was interesting in that it gives parameters for price of speakers and amp power but nothing about the room i agree that fritz’s are very nice sounding, but do best in smaller to medium sized rooms...and certainly don't need 125 wpc of amp power to shine... |
@jjss49 Happy new year to you as well! One can not recommend or purchase speakers without consideration given to the room. Yes, the Fritz speakers do best and offer quality bass when placed in smaller rooms. Also serve as a great match with tube or low watt SS amplification. Two my ears their sonics support an expense in quality source and amplification beyond their price.
