Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used

Zu Definition, $9,000/pr new. 101 db/w/m efficient, 300 watts power handling, 16hz - 20,000hz response. This speaker, and its little brother, the Druid, got me listening to classical music on a stereo again. Tonal accuracy is excellent, dynamic behavior can telegraph a full orchestra, yet solo presentation is nuanced, delicate, intimate, expressive and real. Honestly, I couldn't suggest another speaker under $10K new or used that can approach it, let alone equal it, for your application.

Thanks for all these great responses. I'm leaning toward the Thiel 7.2's as I've lived with the 2.3 for some years. Need to try many of your suggestions out. So far I have only listened to the Maggies 20.1 and Revel Salon. Neither worked for me. It is also rather frustrating as several of the suggestions above are not to be found in the NYC stores.

New update. Forget the Thiels. Have listened to many thus far. The Kharma line is OUTSTANDING (if pricey). Many more to listen to....

For classical & jazz & just about all instrumental music, especially piano, Kharma 3.2s are superb (far better than Vandy 5As, even considering the 5As prodigious bass).

NYC area.

Zu cable is coming next weekend the 16th & 17th of Sept. to Easton PA. This is roughly an 1 1/2 hour drive from NYC. They will be here with their full speaker line and you will have an opportunity to hear the Definitions in person.

I also agre with 213cobra, the Zu Definitions are just amazing in this price range.I have had mine for almost 1 1/2 years & am completely enthralled with them each time I sit to listen.
