I had a pair of older Spendor 2/3s that were wonderful for the midrange with tubes. Contrary to what folks say I thought they rocked well with rock music as well. Not to mention the great deal I got on them with stands included. I think buying used with speakers is the way to go, provided you trust the seller’s packing ability. Bought the Spendors and my EgglestonWorks floorstanders from A’gon.
