I don't know what specific models are available, and the going price, but, I would be looking out for used speakers from brands such as Living Voice, Gershman, Jean Marie Reynard, Spendor (particularly their older "classic" lines), and Harbeth.
Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?
$2,000 or less used/new speakers free of grain, glare and steel, but with detail, extension, imaging, and tonal accuracy and balance? Acoustic Zen Adagio, Merlin TSM MME. Gallo 3.1, Frafrotski SE? Most speakers are competent, some are outstanding, a few deliver magic. Which speakers are the most musical and easy to listen to, rising to the top of a crowded field given their price point, and the most "forgiving" of their associated components? Which have magic?
