Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000


Looking probably for the impossible. But here goes....Seeking an "exceptional small footprint floodstander that can be bought "USED" for BETWEEN $600 TO $1000. I have owned the Vandersteen IC, and Silverline Prelude II.....very good speakers but not exceptional.

A member recommended the Epos 16i and/or Linn Majik 109, but neither sell USED for under $1000. Recommnedations needed

Second the Meadowlark Kestrel Hot Rod suggestion, and for your budget, you _might_ even find a pair of Shearwater Hot Rods.
A real sleeper in that price range is the Soliloquy 5.3 (the original one with the black mid drivers not the later version with the white mid drivers). If I recall this was a Stereophile Class B when new.
