Here's maybe a fly in the ointment - https://ohmspeaker.com/
I have a pair of Ohm Walsh Tall 3000s in my factory loft living room listening area. My now favorite speaker, they being omni directional. Great that I only need to get them about a foot away from the brick wall, 11' ceilings, 17' X 30' factory loft setting. And the sweet spot is very wide, tall. Started years ago with Thiel CS series, then to ELACS, KEFs - all good. But Ohm Walsh series really shines. And in your budget range for sure you can get a pair of Walsh Talls that fit your listening room. If I knew how to post a .jpeg of my setup I would. Oh, almost exclusively PS Audio high-high end pieces. Even heard PSA's Paul McGowan, on a couple of his daily podcasts, compliment the Ohm engineering having know Ohm's original creator/engineer (just recently RIP).
