I second sticking to JBL - L100, or even 4430 used. I am listening to them now, and they are quite special with alnico magnets - unlike modern offerings...You can find a clean one on ebay sometimes, or craigslist.
In need of advice on speaker choice
I have a Yamaha M2 amp with a C85 preamp and am looking for advice on pairing speakers with it. I see a pair of Keff r900's for sale at $2,500 but have not listened to them yet. I have another system with JBL L-65 speakers which I love.
There are so many options out there and I don't know enough to make a good decision. I am looking for used but do not want to spend more than $2,500 for a pair. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

There is a like new pair of JBL L100 classic with stands listed here for $2950.00. You should make an offer of your budget of $2500. Give it a shot you have nothing to lose!! https://www.musicdirect.com/speakers/JBL-L100-Bookshelf-Speakers |
If you don't mind used, L-100 can be had for less than $1000 on ebay and craigslist. 4430 sounds even better for around $2500 second hand. You might have to redo the x-over on very old ones though. Youtube has demos on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kl-vQ-Ujfg |
