what speakers for 4k or less new or used


putting together a two channel sys for one of my dearest buddies. he listened to my quicksilver m80's fell in love with sound and bought a pair of v-4's since then we have scored a rouge magnum 99 with a few upgrades here on the gon and an ah cd player. now we need speakers. he likes the sound of my snell e-IIIs he cant have em and also my snell b-minors cant have them either. a good bass is important as is wonderful midrange. and sounstage. . looking forward to hearing suggestions mitvh

I have seen GMA Continuum 3s have listed for the price you are looking at. They beat all the well known 10k MSLP contenders and I've auditioned and/or owned many. If you have a specific speaker in mind, E-mail me and If I've heard it I'll tell you what I think.

Best bang for the buck in the used market is Martin Logan reQuests. PHENOMENAL when driven by a good amp.

As the above posters have stated,go for the Merlins and dont look around.You will come home one day,Bob
Merlins are good, but I have heard better for the money including Silverline Sonata II's and III's. Usher speakers also better the Merlin including the 6381 for $3400 new. The Merlins are up to $10,000! Wow! BTW I have owned the VSM's twice as well as the other speakers listed. Again, Merlin is very good, but others are as good for a lot less money.
