i want better sounding speakers

I would listen to the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Homes and the Von Scweikert VR-2.

i have sampled the sonus faber sweet hi not so much on the lo (at least on this pair)never had the pleasure of the von Scweikert- that will be my mission for today...any one have any input legacy audio

I had to laugh when I saw your subject line. My first reaction was, "Don't we all?!" On second thought, however, I would like to recommend Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors as great "do it all" speakers at their price point. You can get them from Tyler Acoustics new for $2800 or his trade ins for about $2200. Used ones on Audiogon start at around $1600. For minitor type speakers these guys have outstanding bass which legitimately reaches into the 30 Hz range with authority, and they are pretty efficient, too.

my post is definately showing my ocs(only child syndrome) it is the reason I used to shop at stores like tweeter I could afford to by the best- now that my horizons have broadend I no longer have that luxury I talked to a gentleman who has a set MCintosh xrt 22 that fit my budget -seems like alot of speaker -I am truly -lost thanx for all your help now excuse me so I can go pout like the petulant child I am

Beemerrider is right about the Tyler Linbrooks, I believe, though the cost goes up if you opt for outboard x-overs and dedicated stands. The speakers are worth every penny. Not an easy question to answer, though, because of the numerous variables ... room acoustics, type of music, and the linked equipment, not to mention cables.
