Best used speakers under $10000


All
Here is the type of sound I like:

1. A tad bit warm while still having a lot of punch (nothing muddled about it)
2. Vocals (Diana Krall, John Mayer etc) have a level of cleanliness to it
3. Guitar (Gipsy kings, Jesse cook) sound airy without being lean
4. Speakers can fill a medium to large room (16’x16’x9’) even at modest volume and sitting on my sofa (9 ft away from speakers), I feel engulfed by the sound. Key is even at moderate volume.
5. It may be related to my first point above; forgiving of average source (eg high quality Spotify streaming, which isn’t that high quality after all )

Based on reading a lot of threads on Audiogon I have selected the following
1. Dynaudio Contour 60 - I haven’t listened to Contour 60 but 8 years ago had one of the best listening sessions on C1
2. Focal Sopra 2
3. Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT - though their size won’t pass WAF
4. PMC Twenty5.26
5. ATC SCM40
6. Proac Response D48R
7. Wilson Audio Sabrina
8. KEF Reference 3

From a WAF I want to keep height < 45” and width < 12”.

While outside my budget, I am wondering if I also include Joseph Audio Pearl3 (though very rarely available) and Vandersteen Carbon 5A (size is too large). 


I am currently in an assignment in Sydney and back in NY in Nov. So will be able to audition many of these then. Meanwhile I wanted to get opinions here.

@shoff thanks for that. I am definitely going to try Rockport Atria. 

I really hope beteen Sabrina, Rockport Atria and Magico S3/ A3 I like something. 

I have also been looking at Salk song Encore but there is no way to audition them for Axpona in April. 
No Daedalus (Argos?) recommendation on the list yet? 
Warmish yet detailed room filling sound, with life sized images and a realism/human factor some on your list don’t have. 
Just buy the Golden Ear Reference speakers and call it a day, and keep about $1,500 in your pocket, and that is for a new pair. I have seen them as low as $6,500 used, thus place the other $3,500 on a premium used amplifier. That is your greatest Value!!
@mardukk24, I listen to mostly vinyl now, but occasionally stream on Cocktail Audio X40, has reference Dac built in. Tidal sounds great on the X40 and you can burn CDs into it.
