best used speaker for around 2500?

There is a pair of almost new Genesis APM1s on sale for around $2700 on Audiogon - these things went for $9000 new. Yes, Genesis is out of business, but parts are available... A very good speaker at that price.

You can buy brand new Living Voice Auditorium for around $2.5K. that would work very well with tubes.

around $2750 to $3000 (depending on the "vintage"/condition) and try a pair of Merlin VSM-SE's. Great speaker, especially with tubes and your music preferences. They can also be updated to Millenium status at a reasonable cost (the Millenium version will set you back $7K plus new).

I had money to spare after buying my pair ( Hot Rod version ). Wonderfully extended, neutral and musical with a superb midrange. I have a Copland CTA-301 myself, with a Celeste W-4070SE and Ensemble Voiceflux biwire cables.
