Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues


Hello all, looking for thoughts and recommendations for some “as close to audiophile as you can get for $1,000”  used or new speakers that would be driven by my NAD C375BEE.  I will be streaming only, at least for now.  I have some Thiel 1.6’s and they just don’t seem to fit the music I play most often. The setup will be in a 20x15’ living area with a vaulted ceiling; along the 20’ wall.  Any input is appreciated.

@akg_ca  wow, that is a ton of great info, thank you!  I was a teenager in the 70’s and totally into music, like I am today.  But I was never the kid with the great stereo, I had the Panasonic “all in one” system but being a dopey kid was reasonably happy. In the last several years I have been collecting vintage gear so I am familiar with AR (have an XA tt). I also know of the L100’s but have never heard them. Will look into them and see what’s available in the area. Thanks again! 

@jasonbourne71 thanks, will check them out!

 

@elliottbnewcombjr I am in the Scottsdale area and appreciate the input. Thanks for the info and links, will look them up. There is a pair of clean NS500M’s for sale locally within my budget and will research to see how they compare to the 1000’s. Thank you!

Thanks everyone for the great information. I appreciate you taking the time to respond!
