In need of advice on speaker choice


I have a Yamaha M2 amp with a C85 preamp and am looking for advice on pairing speakers with it. I see a pair of Keff r900's for sale at $2,500 but have not listened to them yet. I have another system with JBL L-65 speakers which I love.
There are so many options out there and I don't know enough to make a good decision. I am looking for used but do not want to spend more than $2,500 for a pair. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Room size and type of music, volume, if you had to pick between deep bass, loud volume, transparency, go out and get a feel for what you like and then come back and shop for deals 
The house sound of KEF and JBL should be very different so visit dealers or check out reviews/owner feedback on these speakers as this should help. 
   If you don't mind used, L-100 can be had for less than $1000 on ebay and craigslist. 4430 sounds even better for around $2500 second hand.

   You might have to redo the x-over on very old ones though.

Youtube has demos on them.

There is a like new pair of JBL L100 classic with stands listed here for $2950.00. You should make an offer of your budget of $2500. Give it a shot you have nothing to lose!!

I second sticking to JBL - L100, or even 4430 used. I am listening to them now, and they are quite special with alnico magnets - unlike modern offerings...You can find a clean one on ebay sometimes, or craigslist.
Thank you, that makes sense. It's time or lack of it which queried the question. But listening seems to be the only real option since every ones taste is different. I suppose more directly is the Keff r900 worth $2,500 used and sound wise are there better alternatives.
You are going to get 100 different suggestions. Your best bet is to hit all the audio stores you can,and listen to as many different speakers as you can. You will need to pinpoint what kind of sound you are looking for. Take your time,and enjoy the ride.
