Default new commercial speakers

hello everybody,

at this moment i have a fullranger, but it doesn't sound that well i think. so i'm gonna build another one, but i'm fed up of waiting, because i can't alway build since i don't have that much time.

so i wanna buy a decent speaker so that in between new speakers at least i can listen to something good. i like to tweak, but if at the end of the day the speaker doesn't work i still wanna listen to my music, since that's what intrest me the most.

So the most repeted question all times, what should i buy; i"m gonna go second handed; And let us say : sub 500 euro (i live in europe, so maybe european brand are the most avaible here)

personally i like musical speakers, analytic but musical. So b&w is for me personally not super involving. I like jm lab. So i was looking at a jmlab electra 905- 906. Probably i don't get a big speaker for that price, but i rather like good with less bass, then a lot of loose bass.

(i just mised a davis cesar, for 800 euro's, damn, its more than the 500 but i think it would be better to)
anyway what do you think is a good second hand buy at least then 500 euro.

the amp can be 1)nad integerated amp , 2)a tripart t2020, 33)a spark push pull el34.

i know it is a bit a stupid question since everybody has different taste and thought, but maybe there is a beatiful speaker that i don't know. Me myself i would go for a jmlab 905 electra. But maybe somebody tells me not to.
anyway, great thankx

(ps: then next two things i wanna build is a bob brines ft1600 mkII with a fostex167e, i have already bought the plans, and i'm gonna try to get an open baffle woofer with an open baffle fostex f120a or something. i had already an open baffle with an old philips driver: it was the most musical thing i ever heard, but had no time or knowledge to start studing or develop a decent woofer and crossover; but open baffle is my goal anyway)

A while ago I listened to a pair of Klipsch Bookshelfs. I don't know the exact Type but they had the bass reflex port on the front and an efficency of more than 90 dB. They were really impressing for the price of 300€/pair.

A reason NOT to DIY..

I have know idea if it is within your budget though (..considering currency valuations and shipping and taxes).
