Finding a pair of used VMPS RM40 speakers would be a fine all round speaker. They are similar sized to the Dunlavy's. Great clarity, dynamics, soundstage and bass. You can find them anywhere from $2200-3500 depending on the upgrades it has. I drive them with an Edge M6 at 120 watts per channel.
Advice on a Used speaker, Budget $4500
I just sold some of my speakers to thin the heard and try to step up to a better speaker. I sold Kappa 9s, Dunlavy SCIVs, and Infinity QLS1s. All of these were very good but I did not use them much. In my mind I want to get either a Dunlavy IVa or V. I am looking for a good all around speaker that does it all well, I know some speakers can do certain things better, but lack in other areas. That is why I want the V's, it is well known to do it all well. It is supposed to have a nice balance. The only thing that worries about the V, is some people say it takes allot of power and I may not have the amp for it. I sold the IV's due to the lack of bass. I know my room was part of the bass issue and I am in the process of having a professional help me get my room dialed in. I listen to all music, but if I had to choose a preference it would be classic rock and blues rock. I do love crisp vocals and if I had to pick a favorite instrument to listen to it would be the piano. I know I like classic rock but then list the piano, go figure. By the way my room is very big around 500 sqft and has 8ft ceilings. It is a basement man cave that my wife lets me do what I want with.
Here is some of the equipment I can use to power my speakers.
two Mcshaned Citation IIs
Two Mcintosh MC30s
A sumo nine
a Pass labs X250

As you can see I have a variety of choices to work with because each speakers likes something different and it is fun to experiment with.
I would love to hear some opinions on what to look at.
