Looking for a warm sweet speaker

Thanks to all that have given your opinions.  It is sincerely appreciated.

Read this thread before bed last night and was going to come back and say the same thing as “steakster” did... Glad you’ve been around (we didn’t know that) but I don’t think he said it in any certain way, maybe just passionately informative.
Although, I agree with you about a lot of modern speakers and metal tweeters, I also belive what “steakster” is saying to be true. So maybe there is someone else interested and reading that should know that clean power can and will remove noise and distortion that will calm a sensitive ear. I have VERY sensitive ears and moving to newly ran dedicated lines, as well as a new/better power filter did good for me. That’s not to say I didn’t still needed a soft dome sweet speaker. I do. But even on those, unclean power can cause my ears listening issues.

If you like the big harbeths, how bout 30.1(or .2) w/ a swarm of subs by Audiokinesis. 

mckinneymike .....The Sonus faber Olympica 3 would fit the bill. It does most things right and the treble region [soft dome] is very detailed..but.. at the same time..non-fatiguing. Bass is very articulate and fast..and can go low,but, not sub low. Mid-range splendor that will make you want to listen all night long. With the right set-up and recordings,it can also throw a soundscape second to none. They are also in your price range used. Good luck with the search...

Another vote for Vandersteen

There's a nice pair of Harbeth M-40.1's under your budget listed on Audio Mart and located in Michigan.  This is my desert island speaker.  Very easy to drive, full bodied, warm, yet detailed.
