What are some good companys to look into for 2 channel music only? Looking for a live sound and a full sounstage. Not too bright. Smooth and punchy mids and lows.

Budget is $800. Will go used.

Go through the Monitor and Full Range speakers that are for sale and start a list that fall into your price range and than start researching.

While others on this site may have good recommendations, their equipment, room size, and hearing are going to be different than yours.

What equipment do you have already ?
I am a big fan of Vandersteen so take my advice with that in mind, but they make some great sounding speakers in the range you wish to spend new or used. The Vandersteen line is known for a smoth, not bright sound.
Vandersteen Audio Model 1C full range floorstanding speakers, the speakers under $1000 price range.
You can find in Audiogon used for $600, http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1188937894

Happy listening
