Over the last 5 years I've been through hundreds of speakers...all used all what most here will define as mid grade.but not all...
There are TONS of speaker choices and price ranges.
one good speaker is the AR11(Acoustic Research)
a tad better than the AR3a imho
ads is a good speaker very very few if any are "duds" within the lineage.
new? no idea i’ve never spent money on new since there are plenty of very good uses speakers.
2 to 3 grand will but a damn fine(used) loudspeaker.
and less will buy a damn fine loudspeaker.
IF i had 2-3 grand I would look hard at a Vandersteen beyond the 2 series.but thats me.
