  3. 129066-2200

Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars

I've been very happy with my Reference 3A Grand Veenas for quite a few years now,what did I like about them?
Well first off they are a critically acclaimed product not an unknown
Secondly I thought the parts matched the price I agreed with the value
Third they sounded like I'd read they would ,and just as they looked like they would .Full range, disappeared completely,easy to understand midrange and easy to drive.
I'm ready to take a step forward now,these will be set up in my main living space(no wife)so they must be valuable. I would like a beautiful sonic asset to live with,Dazzle me!

Nice pair of AZ Crescendo IIs for sale here now as well as Vandersteen 5as.  Both very worthy of consideration.  Rarely come available, but my holy grail in that price range used would be Joseph Audio Pearls.  Anyway, best of luck.

At around 12-13k used, the Magico S3 (original version) and the TAD Evolution Ones are hard to beat for transparency and coherence. I own the E-1s and have listened extensively to the S3s.  Both I'm my view are a step up from the Grand Veenas, which are themselves excellent value used.

"That said, the one that does intrigue me the most is the DeVore Gibbon X."

Exactly my thoughts. Likely because we have their little brother, the DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 88s, in our living room. And they give up a wide rich compelling sound.

So I'm strongly feeling the Gibbon X would offer that much more beautiful music.

Dave, who says while the various Gibbon speakers may not be as sensitive as their Orangutan cousins they are still pretty damn sensitive which makes them a good choice with a wide range of amps including many low-powered Class A's and some tube amps
