Best sounding floor speaker for under $1500???


Been told to test KEFq11 and Monitor RS6. Any others??? Please help me. Speaker shopping has been the most frustrating consumer experience I have gone thru...

It would be useful if you indicated what kind of music you listen to, size of room, preferred speaker type, associated electronics, etc. - you know, the usual stuff.
I'm not sure what you listen to or your associated equipment but here are a few generic values. I will only quote you used as you will experience so much more pleasure buying a well treated pre-owned speaker. Here we go based on what is for sale right now on A'gon.

Usher CP-6371 (asking $1800, stretch & u wont be sorry)
Vandersteen 3a (asking $950, a good buy)
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven (asking $1800)

There are plenty of others but you could buy the Vandys, some decent cables and save some money. If you list your equipment, cables and musical preferences, more people will be able to help you. Good luck.
