Best Speakers/ Mini monitors USED 5K

Merlin is the best you can do if you can find a used pair at all- I also agree with the Utopia's as being great but go with quads or anything before you go with your three pics- I know they look good but sonicly you can kill them for way less money.Pride of ownership would be high though.

Sonus Faber Extremas, if you can find any...

There is a Tannoy System 15mk2 on Audiogon ad. I'd swing it if I got 2200 to throw around, and if my aching knees can put these 100lbs each speakers on top of a stand.

How can anybody dismiss Watt/Puppies, especialy with the rest of the electronics you have? You (HChg888) placed them first on your list, and rightly so. My vote Watt/Puppy 5.1!

I know folks who have the money to use Wilson's for flower pots and either have Apogee Divas or are looking for one.
