Best overall Speakers for $2,500.00 or less, New?

Here is one vote for the Vonschweikert VR-2. Absolutely amazing full range speaker that lists for $2500 but can be had for less. Best speaker I have heard in this price range. Listen if you can, before you buy anything. Good Luck,

For magical midrange and staging, brand new BBC LS3/5A mini-monitors from Stirling Broadcast with "reference" outboard crossover and "reference" cabinets will set you back 2300+ duckaleros. Stands available from Stirling will bring total to 2500. Can't beat w/ stick.

Get the Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures. You've described them to a "T" above. Also, you can get them new for under $2000 and spend the rest on great speaker cables.

I have been into mixing and matching for over 25 years and by far the Jean Marie Reynauds Trente are the most musical
in the truest sence for musical enjoyment .I am a sound engineer and a highly experienced audiophile .Compared to the Spendors,which are similar in a way , Harbeths ,Merlins and Sonus Creamonas these are more musical and warm ,not at the expence of detail ,timing and
speed .Sure there are more resolving speakers out there like the Merlins or detailed like the JM labs be for absolute detail, at what price though.Listen and you will see what I mean,you just enjoy and forget about what is not right or wrong.
