Speaker help under $2,500

Hi eddy1, Are you looking for monitors, floorstanders, monitor sub combo?

Hello,  Mostly will be floorstand.  But if monitors sound better I then will do monitors.  

Thank you,

Without knowing the amp, or at least the type of tube amp you will get, we can't give you meaningful suggestions. 8w class A SETs won't drive the same speakers as bigger KT150, EL34, etc.
The more specific you are about your preferences, the better the suggestions will be...cheers,
Spencer

Eddy1, I have something for you there is no way you're going to beat (price and quality aka value wise). You can contact me off board at [email protected] if interested. I have JBL S412P speakers. I have one used and one BRAND NEW (as in unopened manufacturers carton) pair. Used pair, $400. New pair $700. Both pairs $1000. FYI the used pair is functionally and cosmetically perfect, the new pair is exactly perfect.  - Hal

Spencer,  I was thinking a used Audio Research tube amp and preamp but not sure which model yet.
