Considering used towers under $1000..


I’m thinking about purchasing towers used, I’d like to keep under $1000. Some that repeatedly pop up are Tekton M-lores, and Silverline preludes, among others.

Your experience with the above, or any other suggestions?

(Room is 22 x18, hardwood floors. Power is Rotel RA1070 integrated, 100w per side at 8 ohms, Onkyo CD player, model 7030 I believe)
Thanks...

Rj, there's a certain naturalness I ascribed to my old pair of Tukans, where the piano, cymbals and snare drum sound right to me. I value openness, and nothing to lean like my old Dali Ikons were. For reference, if there Tukans had a bottom they'd be very close to ideal for me. I've read the m lores have that realism or naturalness, but I'm flying blind here without auditioning. Hope this helps
NHT 2.5i or 2.9 if you can find a pair in good condition. You will have all of the bass you ever wanted, though the Rotel is the weak link in your chain if you really want good deep bass.
Soix, definitely worthy of consideration, however, no shipping, local pickup only in Florida, I'm in Chicago
Honestly I wish I could audition the Tekton in Chicago to either confirm our dismiss accordingly. I know they have a in home trial, but last summer I drank the internet Koolaid on another highly touted ID brand, did not like at all, ate a significant ( for me) shipping loss. So I'm trying to be a little more judicious this time.
