Cliiford,

That's a very nice amp you have. Now tell us a little more about your tastes so we can be of use to you.

How big can the speakers be?
Are you looking for floorstanders or sub and satellite system?
Do you like bass or is the high end more important?
What kind of music do you listen to?

Tell us more

Cal

Hi Carll,
The speakers i have at the minute are the Audax KLS9s..
I had to replace original tweeters with Seas H1212 due to damage.
but now one of the midrange driver has a small tear , and these drivers are no longer available.
I did like the sound of the KLS9 ,but i would like to go up a few notches in quality of sound , i do like bass,when it is called for, but also want to make out the vocals.
The music i listen to is ,REM, Dylan, Paul Simon, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Coldplay,Alanis morrisette, Blues etc, anything i think is good,
but no classical.
I always tought the KlLS9s were a bit big for my room, but i don,t want a sub/sat system., i would even consider a kit?.
