$5000 or under speaker secommendations?

Gotta include Merlin TSM's...

Regards,

Get a used Silverline Sonata II or even better - new Usher 6381's for $3000. Usher is a steal for the money.

I would try the Tyler Acoustic Linbrook speakers, very good sounding speaker's that compete very well against any of the speakers mentioned above , with Excellent customer service from Ty..

Hi:

If you looking to save money , i can highly recommend two speakers..The Music Goddess , by Kellsie's audio and video design , sound very good and will compete with speakers easily up to about $8000.00 or more.. www.kellsieavdesign.com
I also would recommend trying the LSA speakers by DK design group and would speak to Larry about them.. They are only $2000.00 new and will compete nicely against ones that cost much more also.. www.dkdesigngroup.com.. If you would like Larry's e-mail address, just let me know and i will give it to you.. I also recommend checking out Tyler acoustics Linbrook's used through Tyler.. Tyler has good sales and usally close to full warranty to go with his used speakers , plus great to deal with..I have a set for Sale , but would only come with about 2 year warranty..
Good luck,
Dave

Thanks for your recommendations. Please keep them coming.

One point of clarification: I'm not replacing my Avalons. I'm simply looking for a second set of speakers to use alternately.
