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.

Vandersteen is a solid recommendation unless you listen to classical music.  I did not like my 2CE sigs for orchestral works.  There are so many great speakers out there in this price range.  Check out Monitor Audio, JBL 580/590, Focals.  Can't really go wrong with used Revel's either except the box/packing they use has never been great, so a good chance of getting dinged by UPS/Fedex.
How about Sonus Faber Chameleons?  Any owners care to comment on them?
