The post above mentions Legacy Audio Studio, on this site in Rosewood for $650. If it is in 9/10 as add says its a good deal for a very good speaker. I own a pair myself (I would not sell) good company, good speaker. Can be used as main speakers on a very good system with a sub.

Hard to beat the Reynaud Twin MK2 at $745. Amazing.

The Legacy Audio studios are great, so is the moniter offering by silverline: the SR 17, and the SR 15. Although they cost a little more than $800 new, they sound great with the right gear. If you want an an unbeatable deal in a small tower that takes up little space, try the Vandersteen 1C. I owned a pair of 1B's in my 10k system, and if the 1C's are indication of what I enjoyed for years, you would be hard pressed to find a better buy in full range performance. New they cost around $800
