MBL 111s can sometimes be found in the $11K-$12K used. They stage/image like nothing else. To be clear, these omnis sound different (tho, not necessarily better, to every ear) than speakers with other dispersion patterns. Some folks (including me, tho I use the much less expensive Ohms) find this presentation irresistable, and you should check 'em out to see if you're a true believer.
