Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k?


Hi,

I'm looking for a pair of speakers that will go for $2000 or less on Audiogon. I listen almost solely to classical music, and what I really care about is deep soundstaging, and ease of presentation. I think ease is really my most important criterion. Since those two criteria will generally make for a relatively analytical speaker, I plan on warming up the sound with tube gear, likely from Rogue Audio(seems to be the best value on the used market). Does anyone have any recommendations? My room is 17 x 13. Bass response is not my biggest concern, so I might be willing to go with a pair of monitors, but I worry about their presentation of large orchestral works...

Thanks very much.

From my experience, larger speakers will perform much better for ochestral and classical. The monitors are nice but it doesn't have the big presence.
If you have enough space then I would consider a coaxial or horn setup.
I have both setup.
