$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.

Figuy, let me know what your thoughts are on the Reynaud Twin Mk.II. I've been considering them for a second system.

I aggree on the Meadowlark Krestal. Great speaker for the money. Also B&W 805(used) or Green Mountain .5 Cont...(used) would be good monitors to check out. Used you can find Hales Rev2 in your price range also. Would recomend you listen to all these with at least a similar equipment setup before you buy. Good luck......LR

The maggies are a good idea. Also Apogee Centaur Minors ($500-700 used)are awesome! Ribbon speakers bring audio to a new level.

Idaho: There is a review of the Audio Refinement Integrated amp at soundstage.com. Click on "equipment reviews" at the top of the page and then click on "archives". The review recommends speakers as well, some of which are mentioned in this thread. It sounds like an interesting amplifier, both musical and reasonably priced.

Although, it isn't "ethical" to recommend the components, that i own, i would like to mention the ACI (Audio concepts) Sapphire III! I wrote the "review" on ACI Sapphire II and it is posted on the Audiogons "Misc.audio"! Also you can check the Audioreview.com under the "Hall of fame"!
