These are over your budget but are demo and will have warranty. Having heard the P3ESR and the Grahams I think the Grahams are vastly better. The US listing might be close if you can get shipping. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Chartwell-LS3-5-Monitor-Loudspeaker-Cherry-exquisite-BBC-speakers-ex-Demo/163682431756 https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9hef2-graham-audio-chartwell-ls3-5-monitor-loudspeakers-monitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that the seller has both the 3 / 5 as well as the 5 / 9 for sale. I'll be keeping these for many years so if the larger ones are better I could still afford these. The room is 14ft (4.3m) by 20ft (6.1m). It'll be be primarily used for classical and jazz. Speakers will be fairly close to the back wall. Can I ask which one you would go for? I'm thinking the smaller ones would be sufficient but the larger ones would provide more lower range which is important for full Orchestra pieces. Thank you greatly for your help.

I have the 5/9s and I think they are one of the best speakers around. Better than the equivalent Harbeth and at the current asking price well worth stretching the budget. I will be keeping mine for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asakusa Kitsune Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks for your help guys. I've bought the chartwell ls3/5 as well as the stands that go with them. These are going to go well with the luxman tube amp I also recently bought. I'll put up some photos after it's all been set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
