There is a pair of Sonus Faber Signum's listed in the classifieds for that price - you might want to check them out. I've had a pair for 3 years and continue to be amazed at how good they sound. I've also tried 2 floor standing speakers, Martin Logan SL3 and Audes Jazz, and I feel that the Signums are much more natural and musical sounding than the others. The Signum's are the lowest price speakers in the SF Classic line. You would want to get the SF stands to go with them, and I think they do well with good tube amps.
Monitors under $1500?
Many of you are helping me make the transition from consumer gear to separates. For that I am greatly appreciative.
I find myself, however, all over the board with respect to speakers. I remember the many pairs of monitor-sized speakers I've owned in the past (none of any truly notable lineage) and was wondering which monitors I should be considering as stepups. I've read about Spendor, Linn, Paradigm (Reference/S), Dynaudio, DefTech, etc. Don't really know much about the mid-end of the monitor spectrum.
Would any of you care to make some suggestions in the $1250-$1500 bracket, new and/or *lightly* used?
Thanks in advance!
