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.

Hello nadamp,
I own a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 8s, and a pair of Vandersteen 2Cs. 
Based on your room size and your statement you like some of your music pretty loud, I would suggest the Silver 8s. They will play louder than the 2Cs.
Notice I didn't say they would sound better.
However, my wife prefers the sound of the Silver 8s to the 2Cs.
I much prefer the 2Cs, but I am listening for different things.
Just my 2c (pun intended) worth...
