Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used

As a fellow classical music listener, I'd highly recommend the Eidolons (used prices right around $10-12K now) or the Merlin VSM-MX with battery B.A.M. (used prices around $6-8K). With suitable electronics (tubes highly recommended) and front end, both of these speakers will render harmonic overtones, low level detail and microdynamics in very musically natural way, with superb soundstaging. Both speakers are incredibly revealing and will benefit from the best electronics and front end you can provide them.

Hstokar, I would highly recommend you consider Magnapan's MG -3.6s that are great speakers in general but really shine on classical, jazz, and big band music. If you could find a used pair of MG-20's, they rarely show up used for sale, it would also be a great speaker for you.

I just upgraded my Thiel CS2.3s to Linkwitz Orions. After listening to lots of models these were the only ones that really offered overall improvement IMO. However, the Orions are not easily heard as they are either DIY or sold direct fully built. LInkwitz has a list of owners who allow a private audition on their website @ www.linkwitzlab.com. I also listen primarily to classical music and the Orions are amazing. The only problem I had was the bass, as they produced some bothersome nodes in my room that the Thiels did not. The Orions have two 10" woofers a side as opposed to one 8" in the 2.3s. I tried some RealTraps and other fixes but the addition of a TacT RCS 2.0 room correction preamp made a huge difference. I cannot ever imagine having the need to upgrade again. This truly seems to be a "get off the merry go round" sort of speaker.
