If you can get your ears in those Alon’s they may amaze you. I have some Dahlquist DQ-30i floorstanders and they have amazing imaging and soundstage. Check out the Alon pedigree and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

I had the 2.5Rs and they were awesome! Almost no sub needed and there was a live sound to them. You'd swear the singers were in the room.
If I didn't need money back when I sold them, I'd still have them.
I had a lot more space back then and played them quite often. 600 is a steal if they're in great condition. I received 550.00 for mine years ago during a recession.
Those real ribbons are superb!
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
^^ 16 hour run, each way, in my car ^^ I know... where is my committment... that might be out of range.
I’d be happy to pick these up for you and hold onto them until I make my annual trek east in late May. Meet you down in Richmond for sure if I’m dont get as far north as DC.
Not many have heard these but they are amazing. I'm playing "let's make a deal" with Klaus right now thanks to @stretchl (I'll PM you what happened if you'd like) and may have these for sale at less than your target price. Getting them to you could be "fun". 100 lbs each.
Nothing definite at the moment but things are moving along.
@ALL212 Ahhh, Klaus. I am interested so please do tell. I'm behind already on the first day in the office after spring break, so won't be able to respond immediately. But please share. I also have a story to tell. Maybe we should talk by phone later this week?

Dynaudio Contour S3.4. I’ll admit that I am biased, those are the speakers that I own.
Personal experience is welcomed! Nothing wrong with that and in fact what I'm hoping for!
What do you dig about them?
Honestly, I like pretty much everything about them. Great low end and sweet mid range. Not at all fatiguing. If you can get your ears on them then I highly recommend it. There are many Dynaudio models that you might find that you like.
I truly truly appreciate the thoughts, comments, links and suggestions you all shared, gave me lots to think about and a wide net to cast which is always key to a good deal.
So these followed me home this weekend... JMLab Electra 926, thoughts and impressions to come.
Suffice to say because of the obvious condition issues, and the fact that the guy was moving in 5 days and just needed them gone, I was able to come to a favorable arrangement.
Good news is they have cleaned up well so far, still want to redo grill cloth, and work out some of the marring on the wood finish. The drink rings cleaned right off.

Thanks @nooshinjohn, honestly, I might have enough left over to grab those Maggies too if I push it and see which ones I like better. I'm watching them right now and giving it serious consideration. I do worry about having to place them into the room, as you can see, I'm a little cramped off the wall.

I’m worried less about the room and more about his ability or desire to pull them out from the front wall. The positioning of the current speakers are less than ideal and would be even worse with Maggie’s.
No offense intended buhl as we work with the space we have.
None taken @dskip, like you say we work with what we have, and its certainly not ideal.
Any thoughts on if the Electra should be toed? I've tried both ways, I think so far I like them a little more with just the slightest toe-in as they are now, but it will be an evolution.

KEF Q750 retailing at $750/ea didn't make the list? I can't say I've heard them, but aren't they supposed to have trickle-down technology from the lauded LS series?
^^ Honestly, I have heard some of the KEF^^, and they remind me a little of Wharfedale, in that English "laid back" kinda way. Maybe unfair, probably just an internal bias, but I eliminated KEF for that reason, right or wrong.

I see. But the LS50 has a rep for being forward, and I figured with aluminum drivers the Q would be anything but laid back. I'll take your word for it, however.

I have the Q150's and I would not describe them as "laid back" or as exceptionally forward. I think the previous generation of Q100's were more forward, brighter, and, possibly, more fatiguing. The Q150's are not fatiguing at all, to my ears, but they present many details, to me, in music that were veiled or hidden in the past. These are some of the most balanced speakers I've heard, especially with a sub taking care of the lowest notes. I am, of course, just a little biased. So, YMMV.
Hmm thanks for the comments, just goes to show, you have to listen to know for yourself. My bias out of ignorance of the brand probably eliminated a speaker (KEF) that i might have liked, completely unheard.
I'll have to give them a good listen if I run across a set!

I know you put a hard stop at $1500, but, just a few hundred more would get you a really nice pair of Usher MD2's. I know a guy that can hook that up.
LOVE my MD2's. I don't see them leaving my house for a very long time. As a matter of fact, they may carry me out of the house before the speakers leave

At first I wasn't sure, I definitely was impressed with just how good the Lsim705's are in that this wasn't the slam dunk at first listen I was expecting... But in the end, I believe these are definitely keepers.
