Best speaker for $1500???, Have Cary SLI-80

Hi Guys,

Have a Cary SLI-80. Currently using a pair of Shearwater Meadowlark's-Hotrod version. The speakers have a great bottom end, for a 8" speaker, but I think they lack at the top end. Please help with what to buy...I like low end, so I am not sure that monitors will work. A good used pair to get me into a higher end speaker is fine with me. Thank you.

As to what Gmood1 said, ditto!
Soliloquy 6.3's can be had for under $1500, and they are a great speaker.

How about a pair of Living Voice Auditorium -- I think their rating is in the 90's db? I have the Avatar and they are really good. Just a word of caution though. If you're looking for bass then these are probably not for you.

Coincident Speakers are extremely tube friendly (92 to 102db depending on the model). They don't miss a beat!
