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.

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

The original xover is part of the magic of those models. They are not designed for inductors like the Gravesen design. The way the drivers overlap in frequency ranges above 1500hz is key to their powerful sound. I still enjoy mine.
