Speakers for under $10k used?


I been wanting a new set of speakers and want to stay under $10k used. If you have any recommandation, please reply to this tread. Also please state why you like the speaker you are recommending. I personally have looking into the Revel Salon, but I heard that the parent company Harmon isn't doing too well. Are the rumors true? Thank you for your time.

What would you like the speaker to do? What kind of music do you predominantly listen to? What kind of equipment do you currently have. You have to get into specifics, or you will get total nonsense back.

You might also want to consider bringing down your budget on your speakers so that you could get components that are most suitable. The problem at that level is that more you spend, the more you will need to spend. In order to have no weak links in a system with 10k speakers, you would have to spend an additional 30k+ on the other components. Although speakers are important, all the components are critical. For example, my speakers are $$$$, but are actually the least expensive part of my system because I think the CD player is really critical. If you blow everything on the speakers, you may not have enough money to make them sound good for years to come. There are also other expenses that go a long way to making a system sound good, such as cables, power cords, stands, power conditioner, etc. An audiophiles work is never done.

I would go to some stores and listen to everything under 6-8k new to start with a list. You might even find a great speaker at 4-6k new. The question might not be, 'what do you have under 10k', but 'what speakers will excel at the aspects I appreciate most in music.' Then you can come back to audiogon to ask for opinions within that list.
