Best used speakers under $3,500?


I'm starting from scratch in a room that is 21 x 13 x 8, looking to create a system for both music and home theatre, with the music foused on jazz, classical and classic rock.

It's likely I'll spend under $3,500 for the front speakers, and to maximize value, I may buy used speakers from one of the many reputable sellers who list here. (after I chose speakers I'll buy electronics that match well with them)

I'm creating a list of speakers to audition. Already on the list is Von Schweikert VR-4 JR, which can be bought, used, within my likely budget.

What other speakers would you sugget I audition and what are your experiences with those choices?

Thanks

Anyone with a suggestion? Either positive or negative? Any speakers over-rated in thes price range? Any bargains?
There is a pair of Silverline Sonata III's on A'gon for $3700. Your journey ends there.
Vandersteen 3A Signatures - you could even buy them new at a little less than your budget + your really getting $7000 speakers for $3500:> so its = to getting used $7000 speakers.
Jonsher,

I’m not sure there’s a best speaker that would please everyone. I’ve auditioned many speakers prior to purchasing Von Schweikert VR-4jr, LCR-15, TS-150 speakers and a Velodyne DD-12 Subwoofer. I chose VR-4jr’s for the following reasons:

1. They sound extremely musical, engaging with excellent dynamics.
2. They’re well integrated/balanced from top to bottom… Lows, mid or highs don’t stick out like sore thumb.
3. I enjoy my 2-channel music without a sub.
4. Sonically matches my LCR-15 center and TS-150 surrounds.

Best regards,
Alex
