Look at the Gallo Ref 3s here on Agon for right around $1300 - nothing in that price range can beat them. Period.

Could use some help in choosing new speakers
Hi all,
I’m in the market for new floorstanding speakers for the following system: Rega P25, Dynavector 20X, Arcam CD92, Bryston B60 (could change soon).
I am looking for ~$800-1,200 used. I have used Totem Arros, really liked their sound overall, but need some more oomph. Right now I am back to my old reliables, Signet 280 floorstanders, which don’t really compare to the Totem’s, save a very nice sounding midrange.
Looking for a great all-around speaker, and love an airy, open, warm sound with a wide soundstage and good imaging/separation, but not giving up too much in detail and accuracy.
They need to be on the smaller side with good looks to satisfy the wife. So a relatively small footprint, and ~40 inches in height.
I listen to all kinds of music, mostly rock and classic jazz, with a fair amount of classical and world thrown in. So a good mix of acoustic and electric music. My listening room is 14'X 28'X 9'(H), speakers against the long wall, and I can't have them out too far from wall.
Unfortunately, it is not feasible for me to get to any stores to listen to anything, as there aren’t any hi-fi stores near me.
From reading up online, these are what I’ve come up with thus far:
Spendor S5e, Quad 22L2, and Monitor Audio RS6
Has anyone opinions as to the differences amoung these, or have anything else I should consider?
Many thanks in advance.
