Speakers to pair with Quicksilver mid mono


Preface: I know virtually nothing about high end audio. My step dad passed away a couple years ago and he had counterpoint preamp, amp and Klipsch corner horn speakers. After he passed, the amp broke and my local audio store (Fred’s Sound of Music in Portland) recommended a pair of quicksilver mid monos to replace the counterpoint. So I purchased those for my mom to continue using the system.  She no longer can use the system, so it’s now mine  

I’m now selling the corner horns because I don’t have the space for speakers that large. 
 

I’m looking for good speakers to pair with the counterpoint pre amp and the QS mid monos. 
 

I understand that the tubes inform what speakers pair best. The tubes on these are Tesla E 34 L  513 and the small ones E88cc

from reading other posts, here are some answers:

 It will be setup in a large  great room with the speakers up higher, about 7’ off the ground with 14’ ceilings. 

I mostly listen to 60s/70s and mostly Grateful Dead. 

I really liked the sound of the corner horns. My parents listened to mostly jazz. 

Max budget is $2,000 for a pair but I’d prefer to spend significantly less.  I have no preference on new or used.

forgive my ignorance. I’m trying to learn as much as I can.  
 

thank you!

@stanleylocke - thanks for those suggestions.  For reference, That would probably the largest floor speakers my area could accommodate (and my wife). 

 

@hilde45 - Thanks for the info! I’ll check out that FB group. 
 

I wish the room had a better configuration for the left side speaker.  To the left off picture is the entryway and front door. 
 

@elliottbnewcombjr - the existing cornerhorns are huge. I don’t space for them.  They are Klipschorn kb w0

The picture reminds me of that insurance commercial with the guy who is trying to give advice to young people who are turning into their parents. Does a gathering room really need a sign that says "Gathering Room"? No!

@roxy54 🤣🤣🤣 tell me about it. We just moved in and plan to remove it. As you can imagine, the garden has a sign saying garden too.  Have you seen the McFarlands on YouTube?
