Deepseed, consider this: the price you're alotting for speakers does not appear to have the monitor stands figured into the equation. This is a very major ($) wise factor and sound factor, as well. Stands are a fundemental extension of your speakers. Think about this, when figuring out your budget. Hey, I own the M20s listing for about $2k. I spent $1000 on my stands. Read my review. You, certainly, don't have to go that way, but great stands (and there aren't many) are not cheap or easy to find used. FWIW: Starsound Technologies, where I bought my speakers, has a new, less expensive monitor stand that is gorgeous,very different and amazing in its' resonance transferring abilities. Call Robert, over there. He be da man. You're on your way. peace, warren
which speakers, under $2K used?
I'd like to upgrade my current speakers, a pair of Quad 11L mini-monitors. I'm happy with them, but I think I can get even higher performance. I'm using a Unico amp, MMF-5 turntable with Monolithic amp, and a Sony SCD-777. I'd like to keep the price under $2K and here's what I've narrowed my selections down to:
Joseph Audio RM22si
Joseph Audio RM7si
Spendor 3/1P
Sonus Faber Concerto Home
Sonus Faber Signum.
My room is medium-small and I play varied music (from rock to classical). Qualities in music that's the most important to me are: a wide soundstage, a sweet midrange, and a nice holographic sound. Your thoughts?
