OPINIONS Best FULL RANGE used speaker for SS


I am in search of a new set of speakers. I am looking for opinions on the best full range used speaker out there. I will be driving them with a pair of Adcom 565 monoblocks. I was thinking B&W 801 or 802 matrix series III. Oh yeah price, lets try to keep it in the 2,000 or less range. Thanks in advance.

For the price you're talking about, if your room is big enough to handle them, a pair of Duntech Crown Prince's or Princesses would be an excellent match for solid state amps, as those speakers have a little warmth in the midrange that works better with solid state than tubes and otherwise they give you many of the virtues of the Dunlavy SC IVs, which I feel sound better with tubes. IMHO, based on having auditioned them both and having chosen the Duntechs almost 14 years ago over the 801 Matrixes, B&Ws will be more revealing, Duntechs will be a little warmer and more forgiving. Both are excellent speakers, but remember with any full-range speaker that you'll need a big enough room to handle those lower bass notes.
