Bang for the buck


Hi all, I'm looking to get some feedback on great value/sound used speakers for a 14x11.5' room in an apartment. Are there any suggestions from audiosciencereview or your own experience that mate great sound with excellent value on the used market? I recently found a pair of Salk speakers at a good price, but their frequency response is the only measurement graph I can find. Plus, I wonder if a large part of that speaker price is due to the cost of the cabinet and its elaborate finish. I'm looking to put my money towards the music more than the cabinet jewelry finishes. (I'm on a budget <$2k). Thanks for any recommendations

Solid state front end. May upgrade to a better integrated but plan to stay solid state.

At times I try to read what they have to say about a product and each time I feel like the oldest person on the site is under 20. Meaning they got the world figured out by numbers but in no way have yet to experience any of it in real life. I'm done with that scholar view of audio. It has nothing to do with our ears and the environment we use to listen to music. A lot of talk to say nothing imo.

@baylinor well said, i understand, thanks.

@yogiboy do you think those Vandersteens will outperform a Salk veracity ht2?? I've heard a vandersteen before and was impressed but I don't remember the model. i can het a desl on a salk songtower or veracity, but I'm not sure that they'll do great with all genres of music and fit my small apartment space, and I listen to just about everything.

A brand new pair of JBL 4309’s are 2k....I bought them for the heck of it in Walnut w/ Blue grills. They still sit idle in sealed boxes. Maybe I’ll get around to listening to them.... some day.
