Best used speakers around 500 for clasic rock


I'll be in the market soon for some used speakers that will sound good in my lingroom which is 13'6" x 15'6" They will be tied into a carver amp & CJ PV10. I listen to southern rock, clasic rock, blues & some jazz rock. The problem I have is that there is no other place except against the short wall with no room to come out & over unless I want to move the speakers out every time I listen to my system & even then there isn't much room to move out. I listen to alot of music I record myself in a "rock" concert setting so image & soundstage are very high priorities.

you could maybe find a pair of Vandersteen 2ci's for that price. These speakers have a nice balance and go pretty low (around 32hz I think) and sound excellent with a variety of music. They will definitly play loud and sound good with solid state.
You cannot beat a set of cerwin vega at-15's at rock...you can pick up a pair of these for around $400 or less.Please listen to a pair if you can before spending any more money.I own a pair that are now 15 years old and they still perform flawlessly.
Try to snag a pair of Klipsch Heresy 2 on ebay. They usually go for around $400-$500 used. You can get them in a variety of nice wood finishes. They have a very high sensitivity so they dont need a load of power to sound good, just watch out if you have a bright sounding system as the horn tweeters and mids can sound very bright in the wrong system. Also the new Klipsch reference series is really good for rock. I own the Klipsch RF-3 and they sound awesome on rock especially with tube amps, I use a Jolida 302a and the combo absolutely rocks!!
I would like to upgrade amps eventualy but for now the Carver stays. Whatever speakers I do get should sound good with whatever low-budget used amp I choose in a few months. So I'm not tied into my TFM-35x for the future. I'd really like to find a used CJ under $500.00 if possible to compliment the pre.
B&W DM603S2 really rock when you turn up the volume.
They sounds like a much more expense speaker for rock.
