"Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K

There, of course, is no "absolute best" speaker. A lot of how well a speaker will work for you depends on your room (large or small) and the amplification it's used with. So what's your system now, how big is your room, and what type of music do you listen to? If you give that sort of information, you might get some well-considered recommendations of what to audition.

I would vote for the JM Lab Alto used for $8000.

If your room isn't too small, used Dynaudio Confidence C4 is right in your price ballpark.

I guess our answers could be a poularity contest,as many of these threads are. My vote goes for the speakers I own: Sophia,series 2. Not any series 2's 4sale,yet. I had the originals and they qualify. Worth a listen,rather than assuming others' 'votes' match your prefereces.
