Need Recommendations For Replacing AR25's

[njb52]

We have a pair of Acoustic Research AR25's that have served us well for many years. They are on stands and not shelves. We are looking to replace them and need some recommendations on current passive speakers (we use a Denon amp) that would have the same quality and dynamic range. It would be ideal if we can spend no more than $300 for the new pair.
Thanks in advance

If there's nothing wrong with them and they still sing, keep using them.
$300 replacemnts does give you big box performance.
Try the used market in US, it's still tough to match the range of these at the stated price point.

Cheers,
Raghu

you could look at dahlquist dq8, M907, M903 etc. They get listed on ebay

just saw this on audiogon: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis98cbc-dahlquist-qx6-stand-mount-loudspeakers-monitors
you can see more on Audiogon. I saw a few good bookshelves around $400-$500 mark (Cabasse, Monitor Audio Silver). Cabasse @ $500 sounds like a great deal if you can pick up in NY.
