$8k for speakers - new or used


With an $8k budget, what floor standing speaker would you recommend?  Currently have B&W 804 D3.  Levinson #333 amp, McIntosh pre amp.  Thx

Nice speakers. Based upon the overalls of the amp I would get that moving out of my possession ASAP. I just don’t feel maintenance on an amp is replacing the caps every 8yrs or so. Reselling the B&W’s and adding $8k will get you both a newer more reliable amp and a set of speakers noted above. A small amp like the 252 will run out of oomph really fast with the B&W's
