Speakers for 3K


Just want some opinions on used speakers for around 3k. They will be used for 50/50 2 channel and 5 channel. I have a Denon 3808 to drive them. Here are the choices:

1) KEF Reference 205 (not 205/2)
2) Kef Reference 203/2
3) Pioneer s-3ex
4)Devore 9
5) Revel F52

I heard the Devore 9's recently and thought they were great. One of the best speakers I had heard in my search for new speakers. you would be lucky to find those second hand at all, and for $3000.
I like Zu too, but found they need the right amp. abit strident with the wrong amp.
Another one to consider, Acoustic Zen Adagio's. They look and sound very good and a lot around2nd hand for the price you are looking for. Not as good as the Devore's or the Daedalus Da-R Ma's I eventually went for, but still very good value

how come no PSB Sync ones mentinoed here? Around $3K here from time to time. Lots of threads indicate them as very good units.

how about Monitors?
