What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000?


I'm moving soon and will need to change my setup a bit. I'm using a Luminescence preamp with a vintage Luxman tube amp. I listen to a lot of records and I love the sound of this system. For about 17 years, I've listened to this system with a pair of 46 year old Bozak "Urban" speakers. They've got a great big sound, but they are big physically too (24" x 24" x 20"). I need to get a bit smaller, at least in width. I need to find something that is efficient due to my rig, and can still deliver a big sound (10" or 12" woofer would be good here). I'm okay with buying used also - preferrably under $1,000. I've considered Klipsch Heresys, but I've never heard these. Any suggestions on decent speakers that conform to this profile? thanks for any help in this regard...

Z horn ,Horn shop, moth if you can find a pair, omega makes some cool little loudspeakers.Or you could DIY your own. I would suggest a fostex f200a in a open baffle anyone can build a OB so dont say you cant diy;) home depo would rough cut boards to size get a jig saw with good blade and cut out a circle.You can use shelf brackets for stands.Shalac finish sounds best and is easy to apply.
