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).

For your budget --> dynamics, soundstage, etc --> try the JBL Studio 698

IMHO, soundstage has always been dependent on the source material.  You can't reproduce something the engineer didn't put into the recording?

Good speakers and good dac will not be enough for a natural big enveloping soundstage with a natural timbre and good imaging ...

The main element for the retrieval of spatial information encoded in the recording will be the acoustic relation and controls over ears/speakers/room ... No dac no speakers can replace this ...

Legacy Focus used under $2K? Maybe, as someone else noted, if the Xovers are shot. Otherwise, what a bargain.
