Speaker Daze Budget of 1500-2000


I am currently building a new basement system starting with a rotel 1080 amp. Room diminsion are approx 20 x 14. Listening taste are wide ranging from jazz to country. I have narrowed the speaker list to Totem Hawks/Staff, Von Scweikert vr-2 and possibly a floor stander from B & W. Not too familiar with B&W but I understand it is a good combo with Rotel. Will also be used for HT but not a factor in the original purchase. Budget is base on a used speaker.

Thanks

I picked up a pair of Gallo Refernce 3's about 6 months ago and have been blown away by just how good this speaker is! Works well with SS amps like your Rotel, I'm using with McCormack DNA-1 and it's a wonderful match.
It's on the high end of your budget, but you can find them around for 2k or so, and it's worth it. See the Stereophile and Ab Sound reviews for vaildation, but these speakers make great music.
Good luck!
