Speaker help - short list needed

I'm looking for a good sounding speaker that is very musical without any harshness or brightness. Looking for something around $1,500 on the used market. Paradigm's are out of the question as their tweeter is a bit much for my liking. For comparison, Sonus Faber makes a sound that I enjoy.

If you are looking for speakers at about $1500 with some good bass I would have a look for Thiel 3.6's but be aware you will need a stout amplifier for them. The other speaker you should take a look at is the Martin Aerius i. There are a pair of black Thiel 3.6's for sale here on Audiogon right now.

Very musical but not floor standers. I use mine on small tables. Brand new only $1700.00 and sometimes can be had on auction much less. The Daber Audio Monitor 3 speakers, really worth a close look. They are well constructed and sing, sing, sing.

Sonus Faber Concerto Domus. They are beautiful floor standers.
You may get a pair at or around your target price.
I have a pair that I fully enjoy driven by a W4S ST-500 power amp.
