Advice on speakers?


Looking for a pair of floor standers in the $1500 to $3000 range. I don't mind used ones. My room is 30'x18'. I will use for both music mainly and home theater. I plan to buy separate pre pro/amp later this year. I have a Nakamichi av-10 now. Thanks.

i am partial to panel speakers. i would recommend the magnepan 3.6, or quad 63, or a used pair of apogee.
I would get a pair of ZU Druids. They are incredible at the current prices of $1,700. You can add a $1,300 tube amp and have a system that works for both music and theatre - just switch out the speaker wires. The NAK av receiver is great for theatre but it will never give you fidelity for 2 channel listening. You will just get frustrated. I also love Magnapan speakers but you need the right amplification and the NAK is not even close to what you would want in my opinion.
For around $2k there are a couple of very nice B&W 801/3 speakers on Audiogon ..They will perform very in a large room too...
I am planning to get new equipment. I am leaning towards a parasound 5 ch/2ch amp and their hdp70 proc. I am still looking at both B&K and NAD also. ANy ideas?
