Speaker help - short list needed


I'm looking for a good sounding speaker that is very musical without any harshness or brightness. Looking for something around $1,500 on the used market. Paradigm's are out of the question as their tweeter is a bit much for my liking. For comparison, Sonus Faber makes a sound that I enjoy.

Some basic information such as what you will power them with, whether you prefer floor standers or monitors, and what types of music you enjoy may help posters zero in on your best options.
Sorry, I should have also mentioned room size being important. If your room is medium to large, check out the link below. For a full, rich sounding speaker, these will be hard to beat for the price. The main rap on these was with the bass response and that may not be an issue with a larger room, although they may not be suited for a smaller room. The manufacturer is outstanding to deal with and I suspect these are still supported. The asking price matches lowest ever on Audiogon.
