Speaker opinions for my setup, pls?


Ok, I sold my MC250 and replaced with the Lazarus H-1 Class A hybrid amp which gives a conservative 50 watts/ch. it has a JJ Tesla 6DJ8 tube and 100,000uF capac/..Its an incredible amp,,a tremendous upgrade,,,,anyway,,,so its the Lazarus, a Berning TF-10 tubed preamp, Parasound CDP-2000 Ultra CD player, and a Thorens TD-165 TT...Currently I have a pair of JBL L-96's, but I am considering some of the following:

Soliloquy's 5.3 (available locally for like 990.00)...

Any opinions on what matches my system for 1,000 dollars? I always buy used, so keep that in mind.

Funny u say that...I have been thinking about getting some maggies,,,As I understand it, the Laz can drive almost anything in the universe.
Yep.. maggies love lots of current, and the Lazarus will provide it effortlessly. If you go this path, I would also suggest replacing the factory powercord with an IEC jack so you can better feed the amp with an exotic pc. The maggies will be happy too. :-)
I have run your exact set up with a Berning Pre-Amp and bridged H-1A's running in hot Class A with a Cary tube CD. My best sound was with a pair of Spica Anjelus. The low end was pretty awesome as well as the sound stage. I also ran Magnepan ( small ), high end was awesome but the panels vibrated with low end rumble. I also ran with a custom pair of Accustat 1+1's and they sounded awesome but still had some low end problems.
What volume do you listen at. My understanding is that Maggies sound best when played loud and are a little week at lower volume levels. If that's not a concern, they are a great choice. I have had great luck with PSB speakers. The 6t, t65 or Stratus Gold can be found used in your price range and offer great value.
