AR9LS Speakers - a good buy at $1k

Thanks @yogiboy , what newer speakers would you recommend that would fit the $1k budget?  I'm open to new or used and was originally thinking about pairing a set of Bose 901's with 501's that would play a range of music (rock, r&b, top 40, classical, jazz, acoustic, etc.)
TIA!

@yogiboy , I'm currently running a Yamaha RX-495 receiver, but plan to upgrade that too.  I'm beginning to think I would be better served by buying newer equipment after reviewing specs of speakers & receivers.

Those JBL's are nice and have an attractive price point.  It seems newer speakers are slim versus making speakers with 12" or 15" woofers?  Are you finding the 5" - 8" woofers can produce quality sound and chest thumping base like the old school 12" & 15" speakers?

TIA!

@yogiboy , understood...so it seems today's speakers require a sub to produce the low frequencies.

For this system I currently have Bose 301's paired with the small surround speakers that came with the Yamaha receiver.  They lose clarity and breadth when you turn up the volume, which is why I now want to level up to a nicer system.

Those Klipsch look sweet and are $200 off, which is a great savings!

@yogiboy  & others, thanks for your feedback and recommendations.  It's always welcomed!

Thanks @ebm !
