Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k?

Hi,

I'm looking for a pair of speakers that will go for $2000 or less on Audiogon. I listen almost solely to classical music, and what I really care about is deep soundstaging, and ease of presentation. I think ease is really my most important criterion. Since those two criteria will generally make for a relatively analytical speaker, I plan on warming up the sound with tube gear, likely from Rogue Audio(seems to be the best value on the used market). Does anyone have any recommendations? My room is 17 x 13. Bass response is not my biggest concern, so I might be willing to go with a pair of monitors, but I worry about their presentation of large orchestral works...

Thanks very much.

Sehring 700 series (700 monitor, or 702 floorstander)

One caveat, I am a dealer but I feel strongly that I should post on this question. I believe that the new Sehring speakers, handcrafted and designed in Germany, would absolutely fit your desires.

They are the most liquid midrange of any speaker I have heard, the BEST tweeter (extended, wide and not sharp at all, very very lifelike), imaging is the best I have heard, depth of stage is the best, width is the best. All in all, hard to make these claims but they are my favorite speaker.

The 700 monitor is perfect, but is lacking a little in the deepest octaves. The 702 adds the deepest octaves and provides an almost spiritual experience when listening to orchestras.

Contact me offline, I could arrange to have you demo a pair of either the 700s, or the 702s.
