Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues

Hello all, looking for thoughts and recommendations for some “as close to audiophile as you can get for $1,000”  used or new speakers that would be driven by my NAD C375BEE.  I will be streaming only, at least for now.  I have some Thiel 1.6’s and they just don’t seem to fit the music I play most often. The setup will be in a 20x15’ living area with a vaulted ceiling; along the 20’ wall.  Any input is appreciated.

I’m going to throw in a hard to find but wonderful candidate. The Cerwin Vega R211 or R212 in the walnut laminate cabinets are the ultimate in my opinion. The Hard Rocker Series in real laminated wood are the most fulfilling speakers for the money, if you can find a pair.

I’d like to find another pair for myself that have been taken care of.

The McIntosh  box speakers were fantastic. I would make sure the cones have been redone. The weather and tear with time.  I had my my xrt 20 speakers redone at the factory

thanks for the invite. 

I cannot come, I live in New Jersey, and know absolutely nothing about streaming except YouTube via my PC
