Hi all,
After I got a lot advices from your advices to buy AMP , I ended with CLASSE 200 with heatsink at side. I'm using Def Tech BP2000 (not tl) and I like to replace them. My budget is around 3k and I know there are many good speakers out there with different sounding. Here are what I read of their review and I havent' heard any of those. So, please, I need help from you again.Von Schweikert VR-4 jr (3K)or VR-4 III SE (4K)
Dunlavy (which I missed the auction on from Ebay a couple days ago)
B&W 801 Matrix (80 series) (someone ask me $1800.00 for it, but haven't seen or heard it yet)
JM Lab Electra 927BE
Revel F32 maple (seen on Agon now)
Usher (compass series, cannot affort dancer)
Thiel (looking for around 2.5K-3K)OR
If you know something, I like to hear from you and I really appreciate your advice.shoungling1@gmail.com

If you're near a dealer, have a listen.
and are wonderful speakers. Check out the reviews in the sticky at the VMPS circle at audiocircle.com. Listen for yourself and you'll hear why the reviews are so glowing.
As a VMPS dealer, I might also mention that the RM30 in its basic form and "courtesy priced" through a dealer would be "dangerously close" to your budget.
You listed:
"B&W 801 Matrix (80 series) (someone ask me $1800.00 for it, but haven't seen or heard it yet)"Just a heads up - not sure if you mistakenly called the series 80 801s "Matrix" or the seller listed them in that fashion. Either way, the series 80 was NOT a Matrix design and isn't nearly as good a speaker. Easiest ways to tell them apart: pre-matrix 801s do NOT have a front port & have environmental controls on back of the midrange housing. Matrix 801s DO have a front port and do NOT have environmental controls.
Series 80 801s sell for right around $1000
Matrix 801s tend to sell for between $1700 and $2200.
Hello David,Thank you so much for your information on 801. I'm kind of newbiew to this stereo hi fi. Definitely, I'm not aware of it. Thanks again. REALLY. I had a chance to see and check on 801 last night and I did not commit to seller for purchasing it. Yes, it is the way you describe it. It's a series 80, NOT a Matrix.
thank you, thannk you and thank you.
You might want to try and find a pair of the original Von Schweikert VR4s. They can be found well under your budget and would sound fantastic with your Classe CA200 :)
Green Mountain Audio Calisto's
The Dynaudio 82s will compete with the JMs and B&W speaks. I ended up going with them against the other 2.
I would consider a used pair of Aerial 7B's, around $1900.00 $2200.00.
I'll be happy to post what I think of them when I get them set up, but I'm optomistic after auditioning the 2.3i
