Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase


I recently went to audio dealer near me and by accident decide to listen to a used pair of egglestonworks andra.  I must say I was completely blown away by the sound. I decided I will listen one more time this weekend.  And for the price being very affordable I will put them in my bedroom.  They were hooked up to prima tube. But I dont want to put tube in my room. And want to keep amp and pre under 2 or 3k. Any suggestions? Used is fine. Ty

Thanks Dan, I will check them out.  Do u prefer the tubes on them? The tube the dealer had on them were 6k or he had mono block tubes for 7k. Just dont want to spend that kind of money in the bedroom.  I am 95 percent sure I will buy them, wife wants to hear them first almost like here first system for herself,  so she is excited.  My setup in living room.

I wonder if that is enough power.

Even used it's over my budget. 

I will find something.  Dont everyone freak, but I am thinking of ordering and demoing a nord mkll nc500 class d for my living room on my winds and putting my bat vk 200 on the egglestonworks.  Maybe eventually find some affordable tube for the egglestonworks.  Always wanted to have tubes, nice glow. Lol

I guess I won't know if I don't ask the question.  Also I would imagine I'm not the first person to ever listen to them, so I would say many.  I don't mean to sound rude, but really tired of being on a website that is all about audio and some are offend when you ask an audio question.  And I will ask the dealer.  I would not think he has listened to them with all the equipment out there, especially since he took them in on trade. Now back to the people interested in audio.

Sorry bro. Just trying to get advise and I'm really big on doing my research.  Many times when you ask people for help they just get redicoulus,  like dont ask a question about audio, makes u wonder why there is an audio site. Lol.  And in the end it will be my ears that decide.  Just looking to slim down my options.  Sorry,  all is good.
I've been thinking about the anthem p2 used. I've listened to the anthem statement and like that amp alot, but 6k is more than I'm willing to dish out. The egglestonworks just had all drivers done not long ago, excellent condition for 2500.00 dont really think I could do better for that price. Plus it just sounds sweet to me. I will listen to it one more time this weekend and probably get it. Luckily I have not sold my old pre and I will borrow an amp from my main system until I find another amp. I've been looking for more watts on my main system and the p2 was one of my options.  I would love tubes for the egglestonworks,  but I dont think I can find anything in my price range to drive them. Especially since I'm still upgrading my main system. 
Yes luxmancl38, 
The staff is excellent there.  Only place I go and so far the only place I've purchased from.  Service is above and beyond anywhere or anyplace I've ever been.  I was there this past weekend.  Before I left I listed to them for about 30 minutes, they where hooked to PL.  I will go back this weekend for a longer listen, pretty sure I will get them.  I'm sure John will hook me up, but always good to get second opinions.  Luxman did you like them?
