2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget?

After finding this forum and looking around here, I'm not sure anyone has a budget. WOW! $35,000 speakers!
But, is there any advise someone could give me? I want to get a pair of good stereo speakers for $2000 or less.
I have a new NAD C 356BEE integrated amp. As well as a 30 something year old NAD 1020B pre-amp and 2200 power amp. I can use a vinyl source with the 1020B or other analog with both the 1020B and the C 356BEE. I had a Thorens turntable with a Lynn tonearm and cartridge but it got lost after the divorce.
My living room is 14' X 21' X 8' high. I like all kinds of music. Some of it pretty loud.
Help would be greatly appreciated or maybe I should just move along.
Thank you.

I am a big fan of Vandersteen, but urge you to compare them with Maggies - 1.7i or a used 1.7, 1.6, 1.5QR, etc.

I sold my 2ce's for the 1.5QR -- tho it took me several months to make that decision...

Magnepan has their own "bass reinforcement panels" they want you to use instead of a sub

not clear if they add any freq. extension or just SPL at freq.s that their speakers already reach
