Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500


I just got my federal taxes done and I'm in the "red"; so, I can't spend $4000 for hi-end speaker this year or maybe ever. Need some input on buying a good "used" audiophile speaker for somewhere between $1000-1500.I realize this is a narrow range but I'm sure somebody out there needs the cash and may want to part with a good to mint pair of speakers which retailed for near $3000. Can't wait for better times to come around!! because, I am tired of listening to the cheap pair of mid-fi cans I found in my friend's basement after I sold my B&W's to finance my dream hi-end speakers. All advice appreciated.

Yes, try the ProAc line. I have the 1SC's, which are small monitors, available used here for $1350 or so, but you will also need good solid stands (I use Sound Anchors, but there are other good ones out there available used as well). Also, consider the smaller Vienna Acoustics floorstanders, Bachs or Mozarts. They should be around your price range, and I also love this line of speakers. Great sound, great looks.
You can get Monsoons new for this price - also Martin Logan SL3's possibly used and the Gershman Acoustic Cameleons that are a few weeks old for 1199 a great speaker - look them up.
Occassionally $1500, but usually a little more is a pair of B&W Matrix 802-S3. The Matrix 803-S2 are very nice also.
Saw some ACI Jaguars listed today. If I was looking for monitors I might check them out. Last pair sold in a couple of days.
Thiel CS 1.5s, Magnepan 1.6/QRs, and Sonus Faber Concertos are all very different, but very fine solutions in that price range.
