"Can't buy Virgos" So what isclose for $1200used?

Taxes again!!! I can't buy a pair of "used" Virgo and must pinch my pennies. So what can I buy "used" for $1000-1200 that will be close to them in performance??? (Please no mid-fi cans) I have heard alot about Vandersteen 2CE's, and even this new Gershman speaker, "Cameleon" Therefore, need input on what "used" speakers for about $1200 will get me close to the performance of the Virgos II. Thank you!!

Can't go wrong with Vandersteen 2Csigs or Von Schweikerts used in that range.

I have had both the Virgo II's and the Virgi III's... I love the Virgo II's... but as I got more into kayaking I pulled some money out of my syetem and now use Meadowlark Audio Kestrel Hotrods on Symposium Svelte Shelves. THey really are great the Hotrod's are $1695 new but there sometimes a used pair out their. They are more focused than the Vandersteens and a little smaller and eaiser to live with. I have been very happy with this set up for a couple of years and have no plans on changing.
The Svelte shelves allow the Kestrels to really sing with deaper tighter bass and takes away any remaing congestion in the midrange..
