Sound Stage and Imaging

I love speakers who 'paint a big picture' (I am literally closing my eyes and trying to SEE a picture). Therefore I THINK I like to see IMAGING and BIG SOUND STAGE. And also like DYNAMICS.

Being frugal (just not willing to spent audiophile level money on it), I love to persuit 'bang for buck' solutions in general.

With above goals in mind for a speaker: what hits the marks in the low fi (audiphile scale) $2k (used or new) budget range. (I have 2 setups: one HUGE room, one 20x20).

A pair of Snell Type A's will easily fill that space with plenty of slam/dynamics and wide imaging. I have a pair and can speak from much experience. They can be found on the secondhand market within your budget.

You might find a pair of Legacy Focus in that price range.  I have a pair of DIY speakers of a similar size and design and they filled a 24' x 28' room spectacularly.  They are also quite efficient so you could bi-amp with tubes on top if that's your thing.  And there are many VMPS models that you could consider as well.  These even pop up on Facebook Marketplace so check locally as well.

Build a good kit. Some are excellent, and if you can type, you can build the kit. Obviously the whole concept is setup for best bang for the buck...the retail gravy train only has to make one stop.

These Falcon IMF 100 are well under 2 grand shipped. You will need stands. My nephew has them and they are a true bargain!
