Great Mains for $1000?


I am currently considering upgrading to some new floorstanders, and have narrowed it down to some good used classics. I'm running Kimber pbj, NAD 317, and a Denon DCM-280.

The finalists are (used):

Vienna Bach
Vandersteen 2ce
Audes Jazz
Paradigm Studio 80

I don't have the ability to listen to all of these in person, so any feedback you all might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Mains for Home Theater?

Cerwin Vega CLS 215's....Cant be beat for HT. I run 6 of these bad boys and you just wouldnt believe the Movie sound they produce. Ived owned ML's, Legacys, Magnepans, Paradigms, etc..and for HT, these will spank them. Think clean loud sound with a SVS Ultra per speaker.

If you want 2 channel, there still pretty good, but not a hi end sound. For under 1k, my pick would be Paradigm 80 v2 out of your options. For my 1k, some Magnepan 1.6's
