Can I get "Great" used speakers for $1800??

I got only have $1800 to spend on "used mint" speakers. Can I get something "great" for my money??---- something that is musical, accurate, coherent with tight bass and good soundstaging. I see a lot of good stuff on Audiogon for $2800-3000, but just can't hack those prices now. Can I get close to that "performance" level for $1800?? What will be missing?? I listen to lots of classic rock, big band, and jazz. Thanks, Jimbo

Forgot to mention two things about the Von Schweikerts. They're about half the price ($975) you budgeted (retail is $2000+). And they play music on everything from 8-watt SETs to giant Sunfires - my friend has both.

I would recommend checking out the Vandersteen 3A sig's

I am a Magnepan enthusiast, but I wouldn't buy them used if they had to be shipped. They are not easily packed up to prevent damage in shipping.

Happily there is an alternative! Buy a set of MG1.6, brand spanking new, for what you have to spend.

Used B&W Matrix 802 series II or III go for around that price. I just sold a pair of the series III with sound anchor stands for $1,850. Great speaker for the price.
