Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000?

I'm looking to put together a "small" system for my den (Int.Amp, CD Player, Speakers) I have a pair of Alon I Loudspeakers that I'm considering using, but they now seem a bit too colored to my ears, especially in the upper bass. I have a Marantz CD-63SE that I'll be using as my CD source. So I just need an Int. Amp and a set of full range speakers that are VERY EASY TO PLACE. My den is about 16 X 20 x 8. My budget for each is around $2000. Any favorites?

I might suggest NHT 2.5i. It is a very good fullrange speaker that is pretty easy to place if you follow the manual that is included. And, at $1300 retail it beats your budget by $700! Good Luck! Ricky Hunter

Medawlark hot rod Kestrals 1500 new.I heard these, this past week.But they were being driven by some very good equiptment.It is amazing how good a $1500 speaker can sound, if driven by the right stuff.So your milage will definitly vary.Borrow whatever you decide on first,and listen before you buy.

I have a room basically the same size, as yours, in which I am using Thiel 1.5's, with much success, however, I used to have a Marantz CD63-SE and with the Thiels it was too hot, so I am now using a CAL. So for your situation, have you listened to the Spendor 1/2's or 1/3's both excellent? The 1/2's go new for around $2500 but you may be lucky enough to pick up a pair used for around $2000. Good Luck and enjoy the search! Ted Watkins
