Short List of the Best 20K Speakers

I'm looking to pickup a pair of pre-owned speakers that originally sold in the twenty thousand dollar range and can be had for around half that today. I currently own Revel Studios. I love them but want something that can go below 20 hz while still maintaining all the goodness these speakers provide. I've already heard and liked Dynaudio C4, Revel Ultima Salons (original) and Eggleston Andra II's. It's hard to get a real feel for what they sound like in your home with your equipment. Curious to hear from people who have owned or auditioned any of these. Also feel free to add any you would like to recommend. My amp is a Krell FPB600c. My room is unfortunately a 20' square with 8' ceilings. I have echobusters placed all over to keep the soundwaves from pretending to be pinballs in a pinball machine.

Vandersteen 5a's

Revel Ultimas

Maggie 20.1's

There are many, many choices in this price range. I have not heard the Magicos in this price range, but I would have to include them on reputation alone.

Your SQUARE room is as stated a big a tattertot..I own C4s and really like them alot..IMO you should add Avalon/Kharma/Wilson to that short list or consider the Salon II

I'm wondering why you need 20 hz too. I would think that would eliminate virtually everything in your price range; at least if measurements are done accurately and honestly.

I read Kurt's response. As an owner of Rockport Antares myself, I suggest at least thinking about a used pair; or look into the less expensive newer Rockport models.

Good luck

How about the new Gallo 5LS speakers? Tall, small foot print. Anybody heard them yet?

Verity Audio makes a very very good speaker and it must be heard to believe. You never think a speaker that size can do what it does. My Sarastro's made my old Wilson Maxx 2 hard to listen too.
