Best Floorstanding Speaker under $1000 USD

Tannoy Sensys DC2. Dual concentric drivers and a supertweeter for under 1k used. The only compromise is a vinyl exterior but I would rather the money be in the drivers and crossover where it belongs. In my room with my system I prefer it to past speakers from B&W, Snell and Martin Logan.

Used Meadowlark Swifts or older Kestrals.

If possible, you should try to audition a pair of Vandersteen 2ce's. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea (but then again, what speaker is?), but I've found them to be very satisfying.

If you were shopping new, I would recommend NHT, Paradigm, or PSB. In the used market, I would try to find Thiel, ProAc or Totem. The Meadowlark's are also worth a listen, but in the same price range, I prefer the other three.

Epos M15 (not the M15.2) are currently available for well under a grand, just a very good all around speaker (I owned the M12, which is the monitor version). They don't like "bright" gear though.
