Best speakers for 2000-USED


I'd like some suggestions on speakers. Are there any high quality speakers out there that really excell at producing a very big and very 3 dimensional atmosphere for around $2000 -USED. Good tight bass (hearing detail in an acoustic bass in jazz), timbre and smooth detail are also very important. I listen at moderate levels although I sometimes like to really fill up the room with music as long as it remains smooth and clear and not start to get edgy or harsh. My tastes in music range from rock to jazz to pop to symphonies to blues, with more of a emphasis on guitar pieces; artists like R.E.M., James Taylor, The Beatles, Acoustic Alchemy, B.B. King, Pat Matheny, Mannheim Steamroller, Lynard Skynard, Dave Crusin, Dianna Krall,Micheal Hedges, Mark Knopfler- Dire Straits, Heart, ZZ Top. I'm trying to get that sence of presence and 3 dimensionality I get with good headphones.
Amplification:
Citation 7.1 amp (4 x 150)-will bi-amp or bridge to
2 x 450-Which is best?
Adcom GTP-750 Pre-amp-another Citation 7.1 in the sys.
for movies
CD player:
Luxman DZ-111 (old 16-bit dual DAC unit
Cambrige Audio D500-SE
P.S. I don't drive and there's no audio places within 20-plus miles so I don't get much of a chance to audition. Also; I haven't been in the market for audio equipment for the last 12 years so I'm not up on what's out there that's new and exciting and what's mid to high quality nowadays

I own Thiel 3.6s and love them. Used for $2000 they would be the best speaker you could buy. Unfortunately, I would not recommend them with your system. The Adcom preamp would make the Thiels drill a hole through your ears. Its a bit bright and the 3.6s are also a little bright and analytical. I had to get rid of a ARC LS2B because of the brightness about two years ago.

Sorry I can't recommend but you do have to consider the rest of your system. Buy the way if you are planning on upgrading the preamp then do buy the Thiel's
Hey say811,
I've had a pair of Revel Performa M-20s in my system for about 5 mths and they are the best speakers i've had and the best I've auditioned. I bought them for $1600 on the 'gon and i could not be happier. Eventually they will take over the rear ch duties in my HT system but for now the are great for the price vs performance. Check them out if you get the chance. Good luck in your search. I know it can be a very nerve racking thing to try and figure out a choice you will be happy with.
