At that price point, I have a couple recommendations. The KEF loudspeakers from the late 1970s are wonderful. The tweeter they used back then got used by a lot of people and was certainly one of the very best of the day. A buddy of mine runs a pair of the KEF Calinda being driven by a Marantz 8B power amp and it's just magical. The Calinda can be had for about $500 and the bigger Cantata for $700 or less.
Here's a link to a Cantata pair for $650.
Another speaker I think is a terrific value in this price range is the floor standing Thiel line. You'll readily find the CS 2.2 for $700 or less. Very natural with excellent detail. They sold for much, much more than that when new and worth it then.
