Best speakers for about $2000 a pair

Never heard them, but Salk Song Towers have gotten some nice reviews and I think they're in that price range. Best of luck.

You might want to listen to Martin Logan Source.

What "quality issues" have you heard about Maggies?

In my experiences of 30 years, they are one of the most consistent and reliable audio companies around.

I notice this is your first post. Are you a dealer?

Or did a dealer who does not sell Maggies mention quality issues?

I'm also curious about the "quality issues" comment.

I had a pair of Maggie 1.6QRs which I thought were great. The only reason I still don't have them is I moved and the new room wasn't suitable for them.

They aren't as fancy a finish as some of the other speakers on the market, but they seem appropriately built for a consumer product and trouble free in my experience.

Listen to B & W, Thiels, Vandersteen, ProAc, MArtin Logan,KEF, to name a few in your range
