Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars

I've been very happy with my Reference 3A Grand Veenas for quite a few years now,what did I like about them?
Well first off they are a critically acclaimed product not an unknown
Secondly I thought the parts matched the price I agreed with the value
Third they sounded like I'd read they would ,and just as they looked like they would .Full range, disappeared completely,easy to understand midrange and easy to drive.
I'm ready to take a step forward now,these will be set up in my main living space(no wife)so they must be valuable. I would like a beautiful sonic asset to live with,Dazzle me!

Agreed, the Double Impacts leave the amplification up to you.  I run mine with Marantz Reference gear and think they sound great with solid state.  While you might use some lower powered tube gear it would not be my first choice.  But a combination such as what mofojo suggests certainly will please many.

In no way would I suggest your solid state gear would be a poor match or go to waste.

Will suggest Revel Salons again. Will compete with virtually anything. Big mistake to not at least try to hear a well set up pair although buying blind is safe. Great is great. Look at 2017 TAS editors choice speakers.

David Janszen is now selling the legendary KLH nines but he has updated the circuits and they are completely upgraded from the original version. I would love to hear these. One of the best sounding speakers of all time.

I have never heard them, but recently talked to Peter from PBN. He seems to have that speaker building down pretty well.

You can likely find a pair of used Vivid Audio K1s in that price range. The K1s changed the game for me. I updated up the Vivid line, but the K1s took engagement and disappearance to unexpected levels. They are also very forgiving to placement and have an exceptionally wide sweet spot. Value is exceptional at regular prices, but at used prices they are really worth considering.
