Best speaker value

I'm running two Classe DR-3 amps in bridge mode with a Musical Fidelity CD-Pre24. I'm looking for the best used speaker value in 1800.00 dollar price range. I listen to all gener's of music and at moderate to loud sound levels. Room is of medium size and not dedicated. Of paticular importance if female vocal. All help most appreciated. Cheers Gary

If room permits i would also recommend Maggies 1.6. If not i heard nice speakers today called Opera Super Pavaroti. Beautiful craftsmanship and whatta sound for merely 2K!

Hi Gary

If possible give the Harbeths a listen, one super speaker.

Good luck in your search.

Regards,

If you can drive the Maggies and can place them properly, they are tough to beat. If you are placement challenged (that non-dedicated room is a bit of a tip-off) you may wish to listen to some GMA Europas. Pocket the rest of the money or get some other gear with it. New they are under $1K. The Vandersteens are also wonderful if you are looking for a floorstander IMHO. Whatever you do, just listen to the stuff you're familiar with through equipment at least "like" yours before you make the decision.

Let me pile on another recommendation to listen to the Maggie 1.6 qr s. If you find you prefer box speakers,consider the Madisound "Original" Odins at a thousand dollars. I have not heard the Thors but would like to.

A used pair of Thiel's would work nicely as well
