Although, it isn't "ethical" to recommend the components, that i own, i would like to mention the ACI (Audio concepts) Sapphire III! I wrote the "review" on ACI Sapphire II and it is posted on the Audiogons "Misc.audio"! Also you can check the Audioreview.com under the "Hall of fame"!
$1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete
Help! I live in remote North Idaho and am hours from even a Circuit City! I've purchased an Audio Refinement Complete integrated and need speakers new or used. From Bach to Coltrane to Aretha to Emmylou, I love music. Cerebral cello, sizzling jazz cymbal, funk bass, Strad, flat pickin', Pavarotti, and Sarah Vaughn-I love it all. I can spend up to $1k on speakers-no more. I would be deeply indebted for any expert advice, especially regarding what I might find used online. Thanks in advance.
