Best Used Floorstanders for Rock & HT under $2100?

I already own a pair of Quad ESL63s which are great for listening to classical, chamber and acoustic music, but I also enjoy listening to classic rock and need a speaker with some clear, clean, fast, accurate thump in the lower end to listen to classic rock on. The speakers will also double as the front end of my home theater system. I have a fairly large listening room. I will be using a subwoofer for home theater, but prefer not to have to use one when listening to to 2 channel stereo. Would appreciate any advice on speakers I could purchase for these purposes. Would be great if they are presently or frequently for sale here on the Gon. Thanks.

PSB Stratus Gold.

You'll need a fairly high-powered amp to get to best out of its bass, but once you get an amp that pairs well with the Gold's, it fits your bill perfectly.

I've owned the Legacy Classics and the PSB Stratus Gold. Both like power, both would do very well in the system you are going to use them in. The Classics are much nicer to look at. Pretty much a draw sound wise, with a little deeper bass from the classics.

Wish I could find a pair of Von Schweikert VR4 Jrs for $2000!!!

Anybody with experience with Dynaudio Focus 220s or Contour T2.5?

I would look at the Paradigm line as well. You get the Studio 100's used in your price range and they will rock the house. Great for HT as well. The Tylers are good choices too.
