There are many used magnepan 1.6QR speakers from $750-$1,100 on audiogon. If you can place them 3-4 feet from the rear wall and 8-12 feet apart they will give you the best bang for the buck unless you listen to heavy rock music. They like a lot of power so you need to see if your amp is sufficient. Take a listen at your local high end audio store if you can. They are more coherent and open than most box speakers at three times their price.
Best speakers, used, for around $1,000.
Want a good match for the following:
Power amp: Moscode 600
Pre-amp: Rogue 66 Magnum
Old Speakers: Thiel 3.0a's.
The Thiels did alot of things well; open, detailed, good low-end, but a little bright (probably due to that EQ from Thiel). I'd like to get something a bit less bright, but with many of the positive qualities.
Dumping the Thiels because the mid's need rebuilding and the tweeters blow easily. So, I guess durability might be something I need as well.
Thanks for your opinions!!!
