Best speakers for about $2000 a pair

I was looking at the Magnepan 1.7's but not real thrilled about some quality issues I hear about Maggies. So, what others should I be lookoing at. I tried out some Klipch WF-35 and they are just to bright and not much for soundstage. I can drive just about anything.

Exactly Donjr, every now and then a post comes up that makes you go hmmmm?! Especially when there is a negative comment about a product. Makes you question the veracity of the OP.

There are plenty that love Maggies, and I'm not sure I understand the "quality" statement - just not an issue IMHO. That being said, the Vandersteen 2Ces are excellent and close to that price new. However, I would look for a pair of used Merlin VSMs, once of the finest speakers at any price.

I agree with the Fritz Carbon 7s. With a free in home trial, how can you go wrong giving them a listen?

First, Thanks to all that have replied. I am going to look at the ones that came up over and over again. The room is a funny size. The listen area is about 16x16. But it is open to the dining area. adds another 10 feet. And stairwell area adds another 6 feet. I really do like the sound of the 1.7's. But, the room maye to small.

DonJr I am in the Twin City area of MN.

I am not a dealer. I just read that there can be some issues with the ribbon wearing out after awhile. Not sure how long that takes.
