Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used


I've always used flootstanders, had a pr of PSB Alphas once in bedroom, about it.
In my old age I've moved to a condo where Monitors will work. A friend just moved and left me a pr of lead shot filled English Target Stands, if I get over the hernia and don't die from lead poisoning, I'd like to try a nice little monitor for my classical and jazz obcession.Also left me a neat little Totem sub.
i remember hearing a pr of Silverline Minuets I thought were lights out, any more sugestion?

There's a pair of KEF LS50s for sale right now that is fantastic. It's KEFs flagship statement speaker to celebrate 50 years. It's over 1k, but just barely. If you stretch to it, you'll be very glad you did.
A pair of Proac Response 2 sold recently on ebay for under $1,000. I own this speaker and have for a long time. I would recommend you look for a pair on the used market. There are reviews available on line.
Give the Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1 a listen and see what you think. They have excellent reviews and generally get snapped up quickly when they're posted for sale online. You can get a discount on open box and/or return merchandise complete with full warranty. Thirty-day review/return period.

Haha every guy is probably going to say something different. I think unless you are shopping for an amp as well then the amp you are using is going to drastically narrow down your speaker choices. Getting the synergy right between the speaker and amp is going to be the most important thing you can do.
