Speakers used under 1K


I'm looking for some new speakers for my living room system. I've always liked PSB Stratus Silvers or Golds. My current amplification is a Marantz reciever but I'm probably going to add a solid state amp(at least 150 watts). Any other recommendations???

I just saw 4 pr of Definitive Technology BP10 closeouts for 600 bucks list at $1000. From American Theatre. These are a very good value for the money especialy at $600 makes it even better. I have had BP8,BP10's. They have plenty of bass don't really need a sub either. They look nice and fit any decor. Stereo review did a review of the BP8 a long while back and said they are compared to speakers of $2000.

Look at Magnepan. You will need the amp though, because Marantz receivers don't have the current to drive them.
Vandersteen 2C or 2CE and you won't likely find better in that price range. Maggies are a good alternative. Two speakers of different character however.
I'd look for a clean, used pair of KEF 104/2's w/KUBE. The Goldi's and 2CE's would be on my list as well. I'm looking for a nice pair of 1993-94ish 104/2's myself actually.
you would be better off with the vandies than a lot of different speakers. I have heard the celius speakers and didn't like them at all...even listened to them with different amp-pre's, cables everything...just not inviting at all! There are a few dynaudio speakers that come up around that price point that may be worth looking into if that is your thing...GO AUDITON and get a feel for what brands may make you happy, then shop here on the GON!
if you like the stratus golds, get them. they are well designed and a great value. play are types of music equally well. weight,balance,and their neutral to boot.
Von Schweikert VR 1's....about $600 and that leaves you with dough to buy some decent stands.
