Recommend a budget floor standing speaker less than $1,000

Been spending time lately with a pair of ELAC UB-5 bookshelf's, and they are VERY impressive, offering stunningly good sonics at their very modest $500 (now $399 street) pricetag.

The next model up the Uni-Fi line, the UF-5 right at $1,000 has received unanimous praise as have all their models.  

The series down their line without the concentric tweeter / midrange driver has a floor-stander @ $760, the Debut F-6.  

The ELAC's have a 4 ohm impedance, however, so choice of amp is important.

Good luck!  

My (perhaps soon to be selling them) Silverline Prelude "D’Appolito array" masterpieces. Sublime tone and they have the ability to make you a better all around person. In fact, I can guarantee that. They're only under a grand if bought used.

I have same Silverlines as well and good they are .
However a pr of single-driver Gallo A’divas on their unobtrusive floor stands are better and less money . Get a small sub, Gallo if possible , and won’t do much better under 4-5 K . I paid $ 700 for both .
Single-driver no crossover so phase / time correct, 100 watt Belles Amp drives them fine .

For $1095 a pair take a look at the Omega   Super 3XRS floor standing speakers. Highly efficient at 94db and fast proprietary full range speaker. Many great reviews.

Funny, I just gave away my Omega Super3XRS to a young couple who loved classical music but couldn’t afford a system. I also gave them my Eastern Electric 8 watt tube integrated which was the only amp of the 5 i had on hand that made them sound good for the simple reason they need tubes to dance .
I also gave them a nice leather coach to put in front of them as they require sweet-spot listening .Also gave them a pr of expensive Mapleshade floor stands which the Omegas really needed as well .Rest of system was old Sony CD and Sony tuner which were $5 a piece at Goodwill and they both sound fine .
My Gallo A’diva TI sound  better and are not fussy whatsoever.

And no, this is not a joke, really happened about a month ago.
