Best used speakers under $10000
@bassdude multiple Sopra 2s have been sold for $9k or so. Sopra 3 range is circa 10k-$13k depending on the age. I think if I am patient enough, I should be able to get one for around $11k-$12k, which while slightly above $10k, is fine.

@soix thanks for those suggestions. I actually did have D9 in my list originally. I am going to add that back. Given I now have 9 on my list and it is going to be challenging to audition all of them (let alone control for source gear), I will have... 
Subwoofer recommendation for Dynaudio Confidence C4
Look at a pair of 18.0 or 21.0 from Funk Audio. Nathan can match the finish of your C4. If you don’t care about finish that much, may want to look at JTR S1.

I own a pair of large bookshelves that were made by Rick Craig of Selah Audio. They use dual Scanspeak 5.5” revelator woofers and Scanspeak aircirc tweeter. I have mated them with a JTR 18” sealed sub. Right now I am using them in a 3.1 HT setup b...

It feels like used Focal Sopra 3 is a lot better deal but there are a lot of threads about how Sopra 3 requires a large room. So concerned about that.

Receiver for B&W 702 S2
Caphill, thank you for sharing such through and detailed responses. Source of music mostly master quality recordings via htpc. I am now trying to decide between CXR200 vs Anthem vs Rotel. I am guessing you meant Anthem 1120 because there is no 120... 
Receiver for B&W 702 S2
Caphill, that’s massively helpful. I could certainly stretch my budget upto $3k. Given half of my consumption is movies, an AVR or a pre/pro becomes a must. I have 3 Sources for video - cable box, Apple TV and my HTPC. My speaker setup is indeed 3...
