Best moderately priced speakers for classical music


I mostly listen to classical music and some jazz.  The violin is my favorite instrument and I am looking for speakers that make this particular instrument sound the closest to the real thing.  When I say moderately priced, I mean speakers that I might find used for less than $5,000.  I have a Lyngdorf TDAI-2200 integrated and Lynn Unidisk SC player.  I'm probably not going to change anything but my speakers (Tyler Decade D20).  I like the speakers I have, but my room is rather small and the huge Tylers are a bit much for certain recordings and genres. I look forward to your suggestions.  Thanks

Another brand you might consider is Larsen speakers ( http://www.larsenhifi.com/en/index.htm).  Rears ago I owned a pair of Sonab speakers, which were designed by Larsen in the late 70's.  The Larsen 6.2 is in your price range, and they are designed to be placed next to a wall.  TAS had a very favorable review of that model ( http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/larsen-model-62-loudspeaker/), and in particular raved about its performance with violins.  The frequency response also extends down into the 20Hz range.  I'd suggest auditioning them.
