Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars

I've been very happy with my Reference 3A Grand Veenas for quite a few years now,what did I like about them?
Well first off they are a critically acclaimed product not an unknown
Secondly I thought the parts matched the price I agreed with the value
Third they sounded like I'd read they would ,and just as they looked like they would .Full range, disappeared completely,easy to understand midrange and easy to drive.
I'm ready to take a step forward now,these will be set up in my main living space(no wife)so they must be valuable. I would like a beautiful sonic asset to live with,Dazzle me!

Mofojo... Tube pre and SS power is my current favorite combo too...
BTW just noted the equipment posting in the above thread.

I also noted some B&W 802 D's in gloss black for $8495 here on AG, way less than retail!

Give them a local listen if you are able... 802 D's are a remarkable speaker with exceptional build quality and this pair are priced nicely here on AG.  Enjoy the chase and the music!

I recommended the DI and it is good to see them seconded. Blowing more money on inefficient speakers is not the only way to go.

I second bassdude, for 13K used, there's only one choice in my opinion and that would be the Legacy Aeris.

Agreed, the Double Impacts leave the amplification up to you.  I run mine with Marantz Reference gear and think they sound great with solid state.  While you might use some lower powered tube gear it would not be my first choice.  But a combination such as what mofojo suggests certainly will please many.

In no way would I suggest your solid state gear would be a poor match or go to waste.
