Best used speakers around 500 for clasic rock

I'll be in the market soon for some used speakers that will sound good in my lingroom which is 13'6" x 15'6" They will be tied into a carver amp & CJ PV10. I listen to southern rock, clasic rock, blues & some jazz rock. The problem I have is that there is no other place except against the short wall with no room to come out & over unless I want to move the speakers out every time I listen to my system & even then there isn't much room to move out. I listen to alot of music I record myself in a "rock" concert setting so image & soundstage are very high priorities.

You might wan't to check out some British speakers like some of the older Mission 700 series. They were designed to be placed up against a wall. Maybe a couple of the Castle models that are currently on sale might work as well. They can also be placed near a wall. They say the build quality is excellent on the Castle's. I believe they make some of the cabinets for Proac also.

I have the JBL L-96's and the L-112's and L-100's have even better bass...You can have one hell of a rock speaker for little money...plus they have great accuracy and good soundstaging,,,,so you are actually getting a pretty good quality overall...

I agree with the older Infinity's, Jbl 4311/L100 series and I would like to add one other if you like imaging - The older Snell speakers - E series and up! I have a pair of E/II's that I use without a subwoofer. I also own Infinity,JBL,Klipsch and Def Tech. Klipsch is also a good buy the heresy's will need some sub help. If you can get Klipsch Chourus or Forte's cheap - do it. Corner placement is not a requirement for all Klipsch speakers - Just for the KornerHorns, Klipschorns, and maybe the Belle's, all others can come out the corner.

i have hung a pair of nht 2.5i upsidedown in a tight space. i still have the footprint on the floor for other stuff. half inch i-bolts into the t-nuts on the bottom (where the outriggers bolt into) use a washer and a nut to lock them in place. grill will go on upsidedown to keep name upright.

they rock too, i'm using a carver tfm-15 to power them but i could use more power. they are known for being the best for the money.

i also like my cerwin vega re-30 they to rock loud for about 200 used, 5 of them would make one hell of a theater set up.
