Speakers used under 1K

I'd look for a clean, used pair of KEF 104/2's w/KUBE. The Goldi's and 2CE's would be on my list as well. I'm looking for a nice pair of 1993-94ish 104/2's myself actually.

you would be better off with the vandies than a lot of different speakers. I have heard the celius speakers and didn't like them at all...even listened to them with different amp-pre's, cables everything...just not inviting at all! There are a few dynaudio speakers that come up around that price point that may be worth looking into if that is your thing...GO AUDITON and get a feel for what brands may make you happy, then shop here on the GON!

if you like the stratus golds, get them. they are well designed and a great value. play are types of music equally well. weight,balance,and their neutral to boot.

Von Schweikert VR 1's....about $600 and that leaves you with dough to buy some decent stands.
