I have one for my main listening room, and have a beaten Yamaha receiver for the bedroom rig. A 3000es would fit the bill nicely. Not sure of market value - I bought mine through onecall.com for $499 w/ free fed-ex - that was almost two years ago - I'll do some research....
My current budget is limited (somewhat) but I am interested......
edit: found one on ebay that went for $350
