Best speakers under $650

I still like the Spica TC-60 for under $500 used. Has a magical quality that few speakers can match. Best on vocal, chamber, jazz etc but has enough punch to play classic rock, just don't try to play it to loud.

Can't buy Europa's for $650.00/pair Having said that, you'd be quite wise to increase your price $220.00/pair and but them. Just my $.02

Platinum Solos are a damn good speaker but you won't get dynamics or transparency without LOTS of power. I tried them 7-8 yrs ago with a 160wt Mesa Baron P/P tube amp -worked pretty good but I could tell they could handle even more. And I second the appearance comment, still look great today and I think they are a classic (looks wise).

The Spicas like/need lots of power, too.
