Whats the best $1000 speakers

Hello everyone, I'm starting a new two channel system, and need some new speakers, and a intagrated amp, and cd player. I am interested in the Vandersteen 1c, and the Monitor Audio Silver RS6s, but I am open to any suggestions. If anybody is familiar with these 2 spakers, I would be thankful for any advice, and some intagrateds that would match well with them.

Thanks Again,
Joey

Magnepan MG12 would be my nomination for speakers. Maybe an Oppo DVD player as a source, and a 100 watt (or more)integrated amp to drive 'em.

I think the Vandersteens are an excellent choice at that price point, with decent, quality bass at the price and good imaging. It is the speaker I would buy if I were looking for a fairly full-range speaker in the sub$1000 category. I would stick with SS if you are looking at comparably priced amps.

I vote for Vandersteen and the new DCM speakers, for under $1ooo they are stupid good...one of the biggest surprises I found at the NYC Home Entertainment show last May.

Haven't heard the Monitor Audios but did own the 1Cs for a while. AT the used price <$500 they are a fantastic buy.

The Totem Arros are my favorite speaker in the 1k price range. Of course I have not heard everything in that price, but I don't think you can go wrong with the Totems. I have owned the Vandy 1b and I did like them but I prefer the Arros. Good luck.
