I have changed my mind - instead of buying him lame speakers, I'd like to give him my m22s and buy myself something nice to celebrate me doubling my salary.

I'm willing to buy up to maybe $800-$1000, only used just bookshelves I want something very kickass sounding. I'll keep the STF-2 sub I have, I don't know how I can upgrade from such a kickass sub(sound is perfect - 15-20 hz is lacking, but in an apartment, it should be!)

Any suggestions appreciated, if I can't find anything I'll just get him a cheap pair of paradigms off ebay or the espirits from this shop. I'm looking through soundstage reviews and measurements right now, if I find something that reviews really well I'll go for it.

I'm not looking for something different sounding, rather, an upgrade in the same direction of the m22tis.
