I am looking for a pair of outstanding 2 ways with magic mid, ultra-natural and extremely well integrated highs, precision and transparency in spadesThe bass of those 2 ways needn't be impressive: I want to avoid those typical high-end hi-fi products, with typical "high-end hi-fi sound", which try to make you believe they deliver a floorstander-like quantity of bass.
I listen to classical music and Jazz recordings I want something extremely natural, that conveys the music to the listener in a very palpable setting
Budget up to 4k used.
The speakers must be able to respond well in a smallish room (11x18)
and speaker positioning is limited to 1 metre from the back walls
The speakers wil be paired with a high powered tube amp 120wpcOpinions,welcome
