Best speaker for under 2gs

I concur with some of the respondents here, there is NO absolute best when it comes to what are the best Speakers for $2K. There are too many factors and variables to consider.

But if it were up to me, I will opt for Vandersteen 2C's, 2Ce's or 2Ce Signatures (anything made in 1993 or later).

Addend to my last post:

Afterwards, I would start shopping for a used Bryston BP-20/BR-25 Preamplifier along with a matching Bryston 3B Power Amplifier to drive my Vandies afterwards.

To echo - you can't go wrong with either 1.7's or the de Capo's.

Best speaker under $2K?..Thats easy. The remarkable Polk LSIM 703. $1500.00 a pair. Powerful bass. Go down to 36Hz.
State of the art drivers and excellent crossover. Very rich, very smooth. Outstanding detail and transparency. A bookshelf speaker that will put many floor tower's to shame. Have a full relaxed organic character that is very engaging. Can handle a 500 watt amp without breaking a sweat. One of the most musical speakers on the planet regardless of your choice of music.
