Bookshelf speaker recommendations

I have the Nola Boxer bookshelf speakers at a cabin. We have been very happy with them. I picked up a REL subwoofer on sale to add to the system and it was a nice addition.

At $1000  I also agree used is the way to go.   

Don't set a hard budget of $1k.   There are some real strong values out there between $1k and $1200

PS AUDIO FR5 , I bi-amp mine and use an active analog crossover by Sublime K231.  And I've recently added Aperion Super Tweeters to the FR5.

Get venue ambience music like $750k SonusFaber Suprema & PSAudio FR30 with Aperion Super Tweeter RST

I also have the Nola Boxer S3 and also use a Rel sub. The Nola’s are the most complete bookshelf speakers I have owned and really love them. The one issue with them is their anonymity which means poor resale value so if you want to buy them, get ’em used. There is one set listed on USAudiomart right now and some 3s as well at great prices. I tried to sell mine because I had moved and they were my main speakers for a smaller room and I wanted to go to possibly active speakers and I couldn’t get a reasonable price that was worth selling them for. Despite this issue, they are great speakers that unfortunately are fairly unknown. I kept them and they are my speakers for a second system.
