I'm thinking a pair of used Gallo Ref. 3.1s mated to the NAD 165 preamp and their C275 amp would be a killer combo. The NAD stack can be had (new) for $1500 as can the speakers. See Agon ads for available units...

Best $3,000 speaker/amp combo?
I've got $3,000 to spend on a new 2-channel system. This is for a large den (approx. 16'x22') with a vaulted ceiling. Listen mostly to jazz, Steely Dan/Donald Fagan type pop/rock and a little classical. What's your best-sounding amp (integrated or separates)/speaker combo in this price range?
