Thanks for the initial responses. Like Richard Dreyfuss says to the car dealer in Tin Men when asked how much he wants to spend, my answer is $1.00.
Seriously though, i would be willing to spend up to $5,000 or $6,000 if i had to but would prefer if i can get away with something in the $3,000 range. I am fine with buying used speakers (my Thiel 6's were used) and actually prefer it in many ways as i get a lot more bang for my buck buying from people with far more money than i have and who need the next new toy every couple of years.
Two recommendations i've already received (though haven't heard either yet) are the Totem Fire's and the Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor's.
I have a pair of Cardas cables (don't remember which ones) and would like to keep if possible but if i need to change those too i will (if not immediately than will plan for it).
