Recommend a budget floor standing speaker less than $1,000

@34dean     are you willing to do any assembly at all? DIY?  

A used Magnepan IIIa.   Hard to find.  May not mate with most rooms. 

For the money I think Vandersteen is an excellent speakers

old Alon speakers 5's MKII for larger rooms, model 2s for smaller room.  Happy Listening.

34dean, as one who has contributed throughout your other thread, I must agree with akg-ca. The only thing I can add is that in your price range I believe I could find a more satisfying bookshelf speaker than a floorstanding pair. Quality stands need not cost that much.
