Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
A lot of good choices. I definitely want to see this shootout!  
Who uses ADS Speakers
L570/2 and l470/2, both excellent  470 had a slightly better midrange imo, but I preferred the 570s overall went a touch lower and more balanced bigger sound. About 200/pair used for each ,perhaps more now    
Please recommend speakers <$800 for newbie
Had the mini lore, not bad but I felt the tweeters were lackluster, high end disappointed  me  I'd save up for regular lore or some version of it with better tweeters. JMHO.

Thank you. Saw a pair of blumenstein Orcas? on sale here about a year ago, should have picked them up.  
Not manufactured any more.
The RTR brand always sounded ' right' to my ears. I think it was model 280, not sure  
Hi Does japanese driver maker Tonogen still exist? operating under a different name?

Speaker Recommendation up to 70k
I must be living on another planet, I don't spend that $ on homes, hookers nor hallucinogens 😁! Seriously, good luck in your quest. 
CD Player Recommendations…
I would NOT get the Onkyo 7030, I've been quite disappointed in mine. Jams up, skips over music on clean CDs my CAL players handled with ease. I'm thinking Rotel or others mentioned under budget would be a better choice. 
Minimonitors
On a budget? Go find  a pair of Gallo CL-1, pretty amazing for the size of two toasters each. I don't believe their "39 Hz in-room" rating but I can tell you they go lower than my old NHT 2.1 SuperOnes, and lower than Linn Tukans. Probably mid 40s... 
Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used)
Honestly, my old DCMs give me 90% of what I think is awesome, snare, piano, vocals, and the 'wrong' stuff is modest enough not to bug me. My old Tukans were good for me at under $400/pair. Most ADSs I hear give me most of what I like. I'm sure the... 
How many people here generally buy used?
Almost all used. One new piece, Onkyo CD player, gave me the most grief. Numerous integrateds, speakers, been pleased overall with music and savings. 
Any NEAT love here? Comparing mini stand mount speakers....
Correction, room is 20 x 13.
