Best speaker for $1500???, Have Cary SLI-80

Hi Guys,

Have a Cary SLI-80. Currently using a pair of Shearwater Meadowlark's-Hotrod version. The speakers have a great bottom end, for a 8" speaker, but I think they lack at the top end. Please help with what to buy...I like low end, so I am not sure that monitors will work. A good used pair to get me into a higher end speaker is fine with me. Thank you.

Merlin TSM-ME used would run you about $1500. Superb with tubes. Good luck!

Like Fujindemon, I recommend the Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signatures. Used without the stands you may be able to find a pair for $1500. They are large monitors that get down to about 35 HZ, but the midrange and top end in particular are superb. I love mine.

I'm using the Reference 3a DeCapo I's with my SLI-80 and get plenty of bass. Very efficient. Give them a try. Used start at $1,500 on Audiogon.

Get yourself some Audes Blues.

You will love them. Great all-around sound for the money. A good set is available right now on Gon.

They will solve your mids/highs issue.

On the bottom they go down to 45Hz (which is plenty enough for me at least).
