Look and see if you can find a pair of used Legacy Audio Signatures SE's. IF you could find a pair in the 3 to 3500 price range that would be the way to go (IMHO). I currently have 3 pairs of the Legacys (Focus SE and two pairs of the Studio HD's). Theses are truly unbelievable speakers and will compete with speakers that cost 4X' s their cost.
Floorstanding towers
I'm currently in the market for some new towers and have a few I'm looking at but am open to suggestions. I have my ways on the monitor audio bronze or silver series and the Martin Logan motion 40. I have also heard and like paradigm monitor series speakers. They will be paired with a parasound halo integrated and vinyl as well as streamed music will be the main source of sound. im open to ideas on other speakers in the 2-3k range for the pair.
