just realized those Totems may be in need of repair for that price. Worth looking into though, seems like a very good price, and the seller is not sure if there is a problem or not.
$800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system
I am new to community and am seeking advice on my first good sound system. I am looking to spend $500-800 on a used set of two speakers for my living room, which is not very large. I cannot decide between bookshelf speakers or a floor speaker. I will be listening mostly to digital music, and I could use recommendations on a DAC and receiver. I would like the receiver to be bluetooth if high quality receivers come with this feature, but that's not a deal breaker for me.
My Ideal system would have two speakers at $500-800 and with receiver, DAC, cables, and anything else I would need totaling around $1200, but $1500 maximum. I figured I would start with speakers and go from there.
I like to listen to most music, except rap. Heavy metal, funk, jazz. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks

I agree with the peach tree recommendations. I had a decco in my office driving a pair of very modest PSB bookshelf speakers, and the combo was great. I had my computer plugged into the peachtree unit via USB. The Nova is even better. There is a refurbished nova 65se on eBay for $699. I would jump on that. http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/321936858478 Get a $95 transparent performance USB cable, and you have $700 for speakers & cable. A short run of audioquest type 4 is a nice budget cable, far better than basic cable, and that should run $100. for $600 speakers, I would look at these Totems: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/monitors-totem-acoustics-model-1-2016-02-06-speakers-33434-boca-ra...
