Dynaudio Audience 52 plus HSU 2 sub or NHT 2.9 or

maybe Vandersteen 2ce, for all around music playing, especially rock music, in terms of transparency, imaging, and resolution (and whatever else anyone wants to throw in), for medium sized room. I'd love to try to figure this one out. Basically I'm trying to figure out the best used $800-$1200 speaker (either single pair or with subwoofer) for a second 2 channel system. Any discussion would be greatly appreciated. Long live audiogon.

I see there has been no response yet, so here goes. I used Dynaudio 70 floorstanders with a Hsu VTF-3R Mark 2 for several years. I really loved that system, especially with rock. I have heard the 52s and liked them a lot. I had the sub set at 30 Hz and it added a nice bottom. I think it will be a good match. I only changed because I got a great deal on VR-4JRs. Good luck and have fun!

thanks so much, that combo seems like an alluring possibilty. I've never used a sub with monitors and always wondered whether a low cost rig like the one you describe has sonic advantages/disadvantages over budget "full rangers" like the ones I mentioned in my first post. It seems like a lot of the more financially challenged on the gon (i used to have a sweet Apogee Minigrand but no more!) would want to see this issue broken down. thanks again!!
