Dynaudio Audience 52 plus HSU 2 sub or NHT 2.9 or

maybe Vandersteen 2ce, for all around music playing, especially rock music, in terms of transparency, imaging, and resolution (and whatever else anyone wants to throw in), for medium sized room. I'd love to try to figure this one out. Basically I'm trying to figure out the best used $800-$1200 speaker (either single pair or with subwoofer) for a second 2 channel system. Any discussion would be greatly appreciated. Long live audiogon.
