Best small used monitors under $1000

@ brianportugal
Like I said,all of them are very similar. The later models have a tad more bass. If you don’t like your 3/5’s then I doubt you will like the newer ones. BTW,what fakes are you talking about?

Hi yogi boy, there are many ls 3/5as with replaced parts or parts that aren't correct. I had purchased a pair of chart wells and Doug Stirling thought the units were not correct. 
I do like my Spendor s3/5s just want it more forward and better highs. They are very musical and I enjoy them. The vr1s are very different and are more forward  with nice highs. But the spendors are easy to listen to.

I have the original 3/5 spendors not the r or later model. The one enjoy the music reviewed.

In your size room, KEF LS-50 without a doubt. Readily available for under $1000. What some consider a lack of dynamics is actually accuracy - a lack of 'boom and sizzle'. Definitely helps if you have a solid 75-100w/Ch amp. Solid stands are required.
