$3,000 US - Used or New Speakers

[atchudy]

What would you choose and why, if most of your audio budget was going toward the speakers, and if you would easily buy used if they were in great shape.

N803 , N804 , 804S , CM9 , 703 ?

N803 , but hey! you already have those! :W

I say keep them, take your time and build your system around them. I ran mine for the longest time on a Rotel receiver and a Classe CA101 amplifier and was very happy with them. I built my system slowly over time looking for deals here and there, and finally got my system where I wanted it.

You could pick up a used Classe CA201 for around $1200 to $1500 that would drive them nicely and be a keeper for quite some time, then move up the chain and replace your source units when the budget allows. :T

How about this:

A little money left over to boot.


I also like the idea of a nice amp upgrade.

If you already have N803's why ask? You should be all set. Follow Rob's advice.
