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

I just sold my CSS Criton 1TDX. They are a very nice speaker and definitely lean to the warm side but are still detailed enough and are dynamic. Remind me a lot of higher end Dynaudios. Also they like power. 

Damn! I didn’t know that add on bass module existed! I likely would have kept them and tried out the bass module had I known. I prefer a 3 way for more dynamic music.

Get the 580's and the matching sub that is on sale too (at $179 for the sub you can get a pair if you want) look at the return policy, they pay shipping both ways, no risk:

 

Return Policy

Wow that is a damn deal! I’m tempted although I don’t need them. Heard a lot of good things about them. 

I have a pair of PMC Fb1i Signatures listed (on the free site) that are perfect for that size room.  PMC’s use transmission lines so they have superior bass for their size, and are used in many major recording studios.  Only downside is the high price when new.
