Alan, I will view this thread with interest and hope you get a lot of good suggestions. I will not forward one because I am not strictly familiar with your other equipment.
I understand your dilemna, though. I started with a pair of Goldi's and still have them in my separate HT system. You can look long and hard and not find better speakers at even twice the used price. If budget is really an issue, contact member "Trelja" and inquiry about upgrading the XO's and tweets in the Goldi's. Dramatic improvement and it takes them to yet another value-laden level.
