A friend asked me for some advice on speakers up to £3k. Naturally I tried lots before I myself went for the Monitor Audio Platinum Pl100 (standmount) to go with a Chord Electronics Integrated (CPM2650) and Meridian G08. I'm very happy with the results. I lent my friend my PL100's to go with his Cyrus set up and he was very impressed and wants to get a pair.
I found this link which seems like a good deal: http://www.hifiwigwam.com/view_topic.php?id=39393&forum_id=5 for an 8 month old pair in ebony including dedicated MA stands with the rest of the 3 year warranty for £1850.
Although my friend is very impressed with these and wants to act before the second hand pair above are bought by someone else, should he be considering anything else at this price point? We've looked at the benesch arc, sonus faber (now very expensive because of the euro), Pro ac to name but a few. he, like me, is keen on second hand.
