Best used speakers around 500 for clasic rock

I'll be in the market soon for some used speakers that will sound good in my lingroom which is 13'6" x 15'6" They will be tied into a carver amp & CJ PV10. I listen to southern rock, clasic rock, blues & some jazz rock. The problem I have is that there is no other place except against the short wall with no room to come out & over unless I want to move the speakers out every time I listen to my system & even then there isn't much room to move out. I listen to alot of music I record myself in a "rock" concert setting so image & soundstage are very high priorities.

Consider Spica TC60's. An excellent all around speaker in its day (and for the $ today). An imaging champ.

Classic rock, dude! Why JBLs of course; that's what "Free Bird" was mastered on after all! Snag some L36, L112 or 4311 studio monitors for high sensitivity, high output and that JBL bass. Not real popular in audiophile circles, but neither is Southern Rock. Leave it to the audio nerds to play their copies of "Famous Blue Raincoat" on their wimpy speakers and shinny up to the JBL bar and pour yourself a tall one.

Funny you mention that, I had some old JBL's that I loved & handed down to my father after I replaced them with new ones(forget the model #'s) & hated those so I traded them in on the Polks I currently have. I don't know if they are exactly what I'm looking for. I keep hearing recommendations for Maggie's or Klipsch's & think I'm leaning in that direction.

A set of the older style Infinity Kappa's or RS series will rock your house. I can't comment on the newer Kappa version (.1 stuff). I had a set of Kappa 8's hooked to a set of Adcom 565's & put that system together strictly for rock.

There's a sweet looking pair of RSIIIB's on the 'gon right now that's not too far off your price. At least take a look at them. Good luck!
