Best used speakers under $10000


All
Here is the type of sound I like:

1. A tad bit warm while still having a lot of punch (nothing muddled about it)
2. Vocals (Diana Krall, John Mayer etc) have a level of cleanliness to it
3. Guitar (Gipsy kings, Jesse cook) sound airy without being lean
4. Speakers can fill a medium to large room (16’x16’x9’) even at modest volume and sitting on my sofa (9 ft away from speakers), I feel engulfed by the sound. Key is even at moderate volume.
5. It may be related to my first point above; forgiving of average source (eg high quality Spotify streaming, which isn’t that high quality after all )

Based on reading a lot of threads on Audiogon I have selected the following
1. Dynaudio Contour 60 - I haven’t listened to Contour 60 but 8 years ago had one of the best listening sessions on C1
2. Focal Sopra 2
3. Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT - though their size won’t pass WAF
4. PMC Twenty5.26
5. ATC SCM40
6. Proac Response D48R
7. Wilson Audio Sabrina
8. KEF Reference 3

From a WAF I want to keep height < 45” and width < 12”.

While outside my budget, I am wondering if I also include Joseph Audio Pearl3 (though very rarely available) and Vandersteen Carbon 5A (size is too large). 


I am currently in an assignment in Sydney and back in NY in Nov. So will be able to audition many of these then. Meanwhile I wanted to get opinions here.

You may want to list your amp and preamp as one of the members may know what goes well with your equipment.
For integrated, I am considering either Hegel H300 or H360. I going to buy one of these used. 
It feels like used Focal Sopra 3 is a lot better deal but there are a lot of threads about how Sopra 3 requires a large room. So concerned about that.


I have a Hegel H300 driving Totem Element Metals. With your budget, you could buy a pair used with money left over for a good sub or two. I run mine with a JLA Audio E110 and I am very happy with the results.
While I have never heard theSopra3 speakers, I have an audio buddy I talk to all the time and he swears by them.  I am not a fan of the tweeters they use, but I listen to mostly Rock from the 60's up and that is quite different than listening to Diana Krall.  They may really press all your buttons.  I heard a Hegal amp at RMAF and it sounded quite neutral.
