Best used floor standers up to $1300

Big room with high ceiling. Like to play loud from time to time. Planning to use Peach Nova125 either alone or as pre and NAD 2400 amp, but figure to upgrade amp over time. Leaning to PSB x2t new, but wanted to hear thoughts on whether I'm leaving better options on the table in used market here. I understand at least one mid driver and two woofers are recommended. I appreciate the expert advice on here. I'm fairly new to this and certainly focused on the more entry level. many thanks

The PSB x2t would be an excellent choice. I really liked their predecessors,
the T6. Another speaker you might want to check out is the Bowers and
Wilkins 683 S2. If you can find them used they should be within your
budget and with a bit of a discount new should be close to your budget as
well.

With your large room and high level playback I think you're on the right
track with the PSBs. I was going to demo them but the B&Ws wouldn't let
me leave without them last Sunday.:-)

Good luck with your search. Take your time and enjoy the journey.

Cheers,

Scott

big and loud speakers require big and loud amp.
$1300 for Vandy 2c is too much they go $7...800 and they're not loud.
