$1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete


Help! I live in remote North Idaho and am hours from even a Circuit City! I've purchased an Audio Refinement Complete integrated and need speakers new or used. From Bach to Coltrane to Aretha to Emmylou, I love music. Cerebral cello, sizzling jazz cymbal, funk bass, Strad, flat pickin', Pavarotti, and Sarah Vaughn-I love it all. I can spend up to $1k on speakers-no more. I would be deeply indebted for any expert advice, especially regarding what I might find used online. Thanks in advance.

Wow! I appreciate the great and learned feedback...Please keep it coming. I've tried to learn some things via rec.audio.opinions, but it more resembles a psychiatric ward run by the patients than a forum. Thanks for going out of your way to help a stranger!
Charlie As I write there are elk grazing yards from me in the meadow, snow on the peaks. Not so painful! Seriously, I appreciate the quality feedback. Besides the ARC, the most frequently lauded component in my price range seems to be the Meadowlark Kestrels. At present, I have an offer on a pair of "Hot Rods." While the "listen before you buy" advice is sensible to say the least, it would be a 1000 miles on the odometer to audition just a few of the recos I've received. So, I depend on the honest feedback of y'all. I don't think I'll be disappointed. warren bonners ferry, idaho
