I bought a pair of KEF LS50 used with stands for $750! They are found used regularly for less than $1,000. Originally I was driving them with a NAD 326BEE which I picked up used still under warranty for $275. This makes up a pretty amazing system for around $1K. A better option would be Rogue Audio Sphinx integrated which you could find used for less than a grand. LS50 is least expensive Stereophile Class A recommendation and they keep a Sphinx on hand for many of their speaker comparisons. Stereophile believes this pairing is ridiculously good for the money.
Best small used monitors under $1000
What what speakers and associated equipment integrated, cables etc. Small room approx 10x12. What speakers make you want to listen for hours and forget about the equipment or the endless search.
