Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K

I am looking for a purely music setup with an old receiver to listen to records, tapes and CD's. I'd like bookshelf speakers (or MTM sized speakers) with soft dome tweeters. 6" or 6.5" drivers are preferred as it has to handle bass without a sub. I'd prefer to buy used mid-to-high end, with a budget of $1000 for the pair. Recommendations?

Johnny,

Gotta agree the Aon3 looks like a pretty refined big hitter at its price. Will be seeking out an audition of those sometime soon.

I have heard the Golden Ear Tritons. Very smooth, detailed and they produced a really big soundstage. IMO, a steal at under $3K including powered woofers. These are not being sold by the kind of dealers that typically sell Def Tech nowadays. They sound nothing like Def Tech (a compliment in my book). I heard them run off of decent NAD electronics in a well designed room. I second Johnny's Golden Ear recommendation.
