Ha… I just spent that this week (but CDN not USD) on a used pair of speakers. Probably not your cup of tea though… Coincident Total Victory but I have desired these for a long time, saw an opportunity and decided I should just indulge. Good Luck with your quest…
$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?
My speakers are 25 years old, working fine for now, but who knows I might have to replace them at some point in the future.
The amp would be VAC Avatar SE 60 watt/ch all tube with onboard phono stage. Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm turntable and couple of tape decks.
I am thinking Proac maybe or whatever.
